20. My understanding of the STRICT DEFINITION of "treason" is wrong

Tue Apr 16, 2019, 11:07 AM

Apr 2019

So I looked up synonyms that I hope better match the meaning of my original intent. And picked out a few that could replace "treason" in my original post.

sedition
subversion
treachery
perfidy
traitorousness
seditiousness

Subsititute any of the above for "treason".

My point is: These guys take oaths. Destroying hundreds of years of American values so as to support a president hell bent on becoming a Dictator is a very despicable thing to do. Up there with helping terrorists nuke the US. And it's happening right in front of us in real time and our Institutions seem too hopeless and corrupt to turn this fascist police state tide!
