    First, wanting to repeal or amend the Constitution is not treason. The Founding Fathers included a way to alter the Constitution, because they wanted it altered. Even badly thought out amendments are not treason. If someone said they wanted the president to be picked in a dance contest, that would be STUPID, but not treason.

    Sedition is even harder than treason. Opposing the election (or reelection of a candidate) even with lies is not treason. I think the birthers are ignorant liars, but I would never accuse them of sedition. Likewise, whatever trump is being accused of, whether real or fake, it is not sedition.

    Even supporting removing trump by impeachment is not sedition. Before the English Civil War, powerful men would sometimes punish juries for their decisions, so now it is very difficult to punish a jury for even a wrong decision. Under our system, there is absolutely no danger of anyone being executed for supporting impeachment.
    It really shows the ignorance of the NEW TRUMP LED REPUBLICANS and demonstrates perfectly what Hypocrites they are and how corrupt and immoral they have become.

    The Republicans are about to learn a valuable lesson in life- and that is there is actually a cost to "WINNING AT ANY COST"!

    But this time, it won't just be a loss of the presidency- it will be a loss of the Senate, and the next 4 Supreme Court Justice seats.

    And it may even be a loss of PARTY, as I don't believe they will be in power again for decades to come- AS LONG AS PEOPLE STILL REMEMBER DONALD TRUMP AND WHAT A HORRIBLE PRESIDENT HE WAS AND YET THE BLOOD-THIRSTY TRUMP SUPPORTERS CHEERED HIM ON LIKE A GLADIATOR SLAUGHTERING PEOPLE IN THE HIPPODROME!

    Sorry to burst your bubble.
    Wondering why Dems/Obama supporters are not loving this??
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Depends on what form the opposition takes.
    A difference of opinion is just that. But actions are another matter.

    The USA has lost WWIV to China with no other weapons but China Virus and some cash to buy democrats.

    WORKING FROM WITHIN A DULY-ELECTED ADMINISTRATION TO UNDERMINE THAT ADMINISTRATION IS SEDITION..AND NO IT IS NOT "OK".

    IT IS TWENTY YEARS WORTH OF "NOT OK".
    TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..
