America once used the words “treason” and “traitors” only in cases of actual betrayal of our nation’s most vital secrets or interests. They were profound words, deep with meaning, grim in import, carrying with them the knowledge that the penalty for treason was death.
Be honest: The words “traitor” and “treason” don’t have the sting they once had; they’ve been devalued from mis- and over-use by this president. For Donald Trump, any opposition, either personal, ideological, or political is treason. Anyone who stands in his path betrays the Great Leader. Anyone who fails to take the knee is a traitor.
Like hearing an insult too many times drains it of its potency, Trump has diluted the power of that approbation. He has labeled loyal, dedicated Americans who served this country in the military and law enforcement as traitors, so much so that we could almost give in to the temptation to excuse it as “Trump being Trump” and let it slide like any of the other insults he vomits forth on the daily.
Which is a shame, because America is in the midst of a treason boom right now, and more than a few people in Trump’s immediate orbit — and Trump himself — richly and actually deserve the title of traitor, and the treason inherent in their acts and words is apparent.
This should be in the forefront of our thoughts. The country is in the hands of traitors. The enemy is not the Left. We have nothing to fear from the usual targets of identity politics. Blacks are overwhelmingly voting for the white guy. Kamala Harris was the only victim of cancel culture. Trump people consider us the enemy. They accept the word of Putin over the patriots who work to protect us. We face grave danger.
Comments
Just pointing this out in case you didn't know: The author has not renounced the Republican party. Wikipedia calls him a Republican political strategist. On twitter he labels himself as an apostate GOP media guy. Where he advertises his new book which is subtitled A Plot to Save America from Trump -- and the Democrats from Themselves. He's no fan of political correctness or lefties nor the current mainstream Democratic party for that matter. But he's helping to defeat Trump. Sorry if that confuses your Manichean agitprop.
