   I am not exactly advocating political violence against Republiscum/QAnon   
   leadership, but if some of them were to fall victim to it, I would not be   
   terribly upset.  They are not literally traitors under the strict definition of   
   treason in the Constitution, but morally, they are traitors to the   
   Constitution,   
   to American ideals, and to the rule of law.
