Agreed. But both major US political parties tread well beyond treason generations ago. At this point we have a Kafka-esque Absurdocracy - government by bureaucrats who ignore the rule of law, themselves, while weaponizing it against internal enemies and whose foreign policy is conducted solely to perpetuate and strengthen its hold over the domestic populace through propaganda and scare tactics.

The dialog has been bought 100%.
It's an echo chamber.
