  1. We all get the sentiment, but someone pointed out recently that America has very specific rules about treason. It can only happen during a state of war and you have to actively work with the enemy against America. You have to remember America's constitution was largely written to prevent people being charged with treason and sedition. The reason why the 1st Amendment exists is to prevent the government simply charging people with sedition if they said something the government didn't like. The British basically used to charge people who dissented in any way with sedition and hang them. If you actively went and did things (other than just speak) against the kings interests he could charge you with treason and then they simply didn't just hang people it was hang, drawn and quartered. The entire reason the Bill of Rights exists was to prevent the government doing what Trump is doing. His supporters think he's upholding the constitution, He is the least presidential President in our lifetime if not in history. FYI - I'm Australian but went to college in America. My few of my frat brothers were pre-law and used to love discussing the Bill of Rights with me because I had a different perspective. These day's I firmly believe the US Constitution with its Bill of Rights is one of the greatest achievements in history. It just has 1 major flaw - some very selfish people have learned how to manipulate it for some very selfish reasons. The NRA are a perfect example of that. I truly hope America finds a way past this. COVID is hammering the country. Nobody should envy Joe Biden's task. Trump is leaving him a collection of nightmares - COVID, social divisions, Climate Change, wealth disparity jobs and the economy just to name a few. Take Care & Stay Safe.
