    Wow, that’s literally “Hang-them-from-a-gallows” treason. I wonder if anyone will even get a wrist-slap.

    If this doesn’t get hammered to hell, we’re even more fucked than we are now.

      My guy, democracy in your country was on life support when citizens United was enacted, and then Bush killed it when he stole the election from Gore. You guys have been so busy working your hands to the bone you didn’t realize you’ve been standing on the corpse of democracy for decades lol.

      And Jan 6 was literally “shoot on sight” treason, but most of those people aren’t getting more than a year or two unless they’re a high profile oath keeper or whatever. We keep treating active attempts to subvert democracy and/or overthrow the government like this and it’s going to bite us in the ass.

      Technically, it’s not treason unless it helps a country that the US is officially at war with. It’s Sedition and Election Interference by US Legal Definition.
