Jesus was convicted in a sham trial, and crucified. I still follow him.

Unlike Trump. The Romans didn’t actually want to kill Jesus. He hadn’t broken their laws. Yet. The Roman Garrison and Governor however were threatened by the Pharisees with a Rebellion they would organize if Jesus was not crucified.
Which would have killed 10s of Thousands. Potentially Hundreds of Thousands. Both in Battle and the ensuing Roman crackdowns.
Three separate Rebellions later in the 1st Century roughly grouped together under the term Roman-Jewish Wars between 66-135CE are believed to have killed between 400,000-1.4 Million according to some period estimates And outright destroyed 1 Legion in its entirety in heavy fighting. And left 3 others badly mauled. With at least 1 of the 3 having lost its Eagle.
A little perspective on the potential Devastation that the Pharisees could have willingly unleashed on the region in their hatred of 1 man. It really takes some skill, and being absolutely horrendous people, to leave the Roman Empire looking like the good guys caught between 2 shitty choices.
Maybe their names shouldn't be used in the same sentence but they were both falsefully tried and convicted by the same people....
