Where do you draw the line between loyal opposition and moral traitor?

I think when one finds themselves lying, as Republicans have been lying, that's a sure sign of a moral traitor.

Of course being the pathological liars that they are most of them flat out deny they're lying regardless of the evidence. So are they really lying if they're too sick to know that they're really lying? I would say yes, they are lying.

The obstructionism is another sign of a moral traitor. Republicans turn that one on its ear by claiming that they're justified because, they say, Democrats are going to destroy the nation. In the meantime what do they have to solve the problems that they caused? All they have is obfuscation. I would call that moral traitorism. They are undermining us for our own good? Right.

And now that they have lost and now that WE, THE PEOPLE have rejected them, what's their response? Is it constructive to whine about "free stuff" and whatever other ideological nonsense that they got floating around between their miserable ears? Is that a loyal opposition? I don't think so.

What do we do with these people? They're obviously in some kind of pain.

Dems, the loyal opposition, fight to prevent the repukes from invoking their agenda, which we believe would be destructive to the nation.

Repukes, the moral traitors, obstruct the Democratic agenda and their reasons for doing so are self-serving, petty, or irrelevant.
