    Thanks, but I didn’t need that confirmed by someone who doesn’t know what treason looks like. As to the ballot, it’s no skin off my nose if you want your state to waste every electoral college vote they’re allotted.

      treason /trē′zən/ noun

      The betrayal of allegiance toward one's own country, especially by committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts. 
      

      The betrayal of someone’s trust or confidence.

      The offense of attempting to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance, or of betraying the state into the hands of a foreign power; disloyalty; treachery.

      Seems the one libs are all hanging their hat on is the 1st part of point 3. However, Trump was president on 1/6/21, so who was he trying to overthrow? Himself? Has he attempted to overthrow Biden in the ensuing years? If calling the election “rigged” can be construed as such, you’ve got an even bigger problem on your hands as Raskin, Waters, Schiff, among others, did the same in 2016, so they’re traitors?

      Now, if you want to talk about how Biden withheld a billion dollars from Ukraine unless the prosecutor investigating Burisma, and is now dumping billions of our dollars over there… and remember kids, Ukraine has never been our ally. If you feel it’s prudent to start another proxy war with Russia, ask Afghanistan how that turned out.
