    at this rate it’s only a matter of time before he says something directly treasonous and gets picked up by the FBI before the election

        I understand what you’re saying, but if the will of the people gets loud enough, it will be done! Advocate locally and make sure to vote!

      Something more treasonous than armed insurrection at the Capitol to prevent the transfer of power away from Donald Trump?

      His lawyers argued that he should be so much above the law that he could order a political assassination of another American and face no consequences, and he won that case and the Supreme Court said that his official acts were immune from prosecution.

      Here he’s saying out loud that voting will be unnecessary in the future. The FBI will do absolutely nothing to stop him.

        The Jan 6th coup attempt involved an estimated 2k-2.5k people entering the Capitol. I can’t find a good number on how many folks were attending the rally beforehand.

        Hypothetically speaking, though? if similar numbers of Americans (we’re talking less than one three-hundred-thousandth of the population) got righteously angry about the Supreme Court and decided to act, I don’t think they would even need to be armed. And I’m not saying that hypothetical action should happen, or that would be right, but it would likely be a lot more justifiable.
