How Many Of You Trumpets Really Believe Trump Won?

A wise person wrote (and I paraphrase):  Nobody loses anymore.  If you lost, you didn't really lose, you got cheated.  This is a very dangerous concept/mind set.  No respect for majority opinion/process, fair fight, majority vote. 

 

FWIW.

Kevin Lewis opines: 

"The MAGA marchers, the 126 members of the House, the right-nut talk show hosts---they don't realize that refusal to acknowledge or accept the outcome of a fair and democratic election isn't expressing one's opinion--it's active treason.

 Republicans are no longer Americans. That's really, really sad and disturbing."

 

 

Umm, . . . . no.  It would seem Kevin Lewis is ill-informed regarding the "Treason Clause" within the United States Constitution

"The Constitution specifically identifies what constitutes treason against the United States and, importantly, limits the offense of treason to only two types of conduct: (1) “levying war” against the United States; or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort.”

Ref: Constitution Center

[This reference also makes clear the intent of the authors of the Constitution to limit the charge of treason specifically to avoid "false or passion-driven accusations of treason to undermine political opponents."]

 

Goodness ! ! !  The Founding Fathers actually foresaw the possibility of, say, Kevin Lewis attempting to simply misapply the charge of treason to those with whom he disagrees ! ! ! 

The intellect and prescience of the authors of the US Constitution never ceases to amaze poor old DonDiego.

I agree! The correct term is sedition.

 

It only calls for up to a 20-year sentence. I'm cool with that.
