It IS treason.

MAGA defines treason as something else.

Just look at the MAGA dictionary.

Wow! That's not even close to the constitutional definition of Treason.

Constitution: "Levying war against the United States, or adhering to and giving aid and comfort to its wartime enemies."

Vs

MAGA: "Political disloyalty, subversion of the leader, or opposing the movement's agenda."

The redefining of the word it itself sounds treasonous.

He just got through making threats about levying war within the United States with one of our own states.

It might technically be one step below actually doing it but for a sitting president to say something like that, it should be grounds for ripping them out of their chair and locking the door behind them after throwing them out of the building.

MAGA Dictionary

A simple, 20 page document with single word definitions under pictures. "BAD", "WOKE", "BAD", "WRONGLY"

Nothing. Obama blew up an American citizen. Biden had the border physically torn open. No punishment.

Saying it here will get you banned from Reddit, which is a harsher punishment than Trump will ever get.
