To them, they were trying to save it. Massively more scary but we all need to be clear on motivations and reasonings here.
loser9999
I'm surprised this isn't massively down voted. It's true I'm just surprised
pastramionrye
Honestly, same.
HypnoJack
This. It doesn't matter what all the media and average people are saying about it. To them and OAN/Fox/Newsmax , THEY were the heroes.
sadurdaynight
Brainwashing and indoctrination programming by media mogul's outlets doesn't exonerate people of crimes.
bivenator
Seems to work out that way for the rioters this past summer
PhailRaptor
But it does explain how and why it happened. If you want to get to the cause of an event, you have to understand it first.
pastramionrye
Of course not. But we need to understand their motivation in context. And stop pearl clutching & the “how can they do [thing]!?” Rhetoric
pastramionrye
It sounds Kumbaya, but these folks’ mindset remains a real and present thing. We have to get it to fight it. Cuz we’re not gonna have 1/

2/ a real civil war, and we’re not gonna win by reducing everything to a punchline.

The weirdest thing is seeing Trump lope around like we all don't know he killed people
cheezyridr
Speak up. Who did trump kill?
TheRealArclight
venomlash
Couple hundred thousand COVID-19 victims who wouldn't have died if he hadn't actively sabotaged the pandemic response.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
On the 6th? Everyone who died in the "riot" he incited.
ButtBot9900
His mental state may have deteriorated enough that he forgot.
MrRandom314159
He's an idiot, but he has a thug's intelligence. Even before the election, I knew if he lost he'd try to invalidate it. I didn't know how...
MrRandom314159
I didn't realize he'd go that far.
Shaodyn
The syphilis probably damaged that part of his brain.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
Well he's as weird as ever, it's everyone around him, and even us. He *killed people* and we're all just like "hah look at his pants"
TheMeatIncident

RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
We're getting there. The tax stuff coming out now probably isn't a coincidence. They got Al Capone on taxes, too.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
I mean.. sure, but Al Capone at least tried to keep that secret. Trump killed people *right in front of us*.
AlwaysInTheshadows
My uncle: they were just regular people standing around not hurting anyone. They didn't deserve this - Fox news has fucked him up real good.
HypnoJack
Yeah. One of my best friends is basically dead to me. He voted for Trump twice. He truly thinks Trump cares about America. What a cult.

You did him a favour.

Define"they."If youre going to assume every person right of center is a criminal seditionist,then as someone left of center?We got a problem
TheMeatIncident
They meaning all the capitol rioters wearing maga hats specifically? i dunno man, you choose
Jamesstin
So everyone that was within a certain radius of the capital on January 7th? Or just those who broke the law? Or are we talking about 1/
Jamesstin
Everyone who voted for him? Or what? Cause suggesting someone participated in sedition is pretty serious. If its everyone? Theyre nuts. 2/2
TheMeatIncident
What's your goal here? Quit being obtuse.

No, fuck YOU. It was not insurrection

Yes it was. 500 arrested so far. 3 now facing possible terrorism charges. Your people. Terrorists.
MrPowPow
Treason is acting against your country on behalf of another country. Theirs was an act of sedition. Acting against your country for yourself
tinyfootprints
I disagree. Acting against your own country is treason.
Th4t1dude
Id argue that they were acting on behalf of the confederacy (the perversion of a party known as republican)
Ninjaman69
So demostic terrorism?
SomeDetroitGuy
Oh, it definitely was that, too.
jennym123
Does it still count as if they're too stupid to realize they were acting on behalf of another country?
oblimo
No, you can commit treason by levying war against the US by raising your own militia to attack it. That's what they tried to pin on /
oblimo
Aaron Burr, as I recall.
movethebongos
And since when is Russia not a country?
HandfulOfBees
I mean, they would believe they were acting for their country.

Hammertulski
It's cool, Imgurgram automatically applied the sarcastic filter.
SomeoneSomewhereOrSomething
According to the dictionary, what they did was treason.
CommodusLeitdorf
They wave the Confederate flag around enough that it might still qualify as treason
SlackerTactical
"It's sedition, then"
sykoticflaw
I do consider it treason, as these are the same people who have kept the Confederacy alive for the last 150 years.
Rainbowdaesh
Technically true.
oblimo
Technically false in the US. 18 US 115 §2381. Treason is either "levying war" against US or "adhering to their enemies. You don't need both

Treason the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government. 1/2
allenvasher3000
2/2 sedition conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch.
Bojovnik84
They are doing it on behalf of Russia.
hetjr
I mean the Confederate States was a different country, right?
Th4t1dude
They tried to be i think. I dont know if they every got that far.
GuacamoleMoleMolester
So... The Chinese measures against seditionists in Hong Kong are alright? The world is complicated.
AnotherReplyToIgnore
Yeah, the concepts of treason and sedition exist to give those in charge the authority to stop individualism. It's literally anti-freedom.

B4DF15H2
It's sedition, but that doesn't make it not treason.
kakivara
True. Being not treason is what makes it not treason.
Bukkhockey
Treason has a definition and the criteria was not met. It's sedition.
MrPowPow
If we are going to hold them accountable for their actions against the nation we need to charge them with the right crime.
theangryjanitor
We could have one law if our judges were impeccable moral.
Shaodyn
What do you call it if you act against your country on behalf of a government official of your own country?
YeeticusOfTheTribeYeet
Idiocy.
Shaodyn
That's pretty much what the defense lawyers are going with. "My client is too dumb to make his own decisions."
illogicalphallusies
Coup? Rebellion?...depends on the type of government official...
ghostofGracchusBabeuf
This was certainly a coup attempt IMO, which means sedition is probably better than treason even though I was saying the latter for months.
Shaodyn
Let's say, hypothetically, that it was the head of state.
ImSilverTongue
And also a soggy fuckin cheeto
roboticKittenTamer
Not according to the dictionary:
trea·son
noun
the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or →
roboticKittenTamer
←overthrow the government.
https://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A+treason
roboticKittenTamer
Or "Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason
kuriosly
In the US, the scope of treason is very narrow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason_laws_in_the_United_States
roboticKittenTamer
Yeah, so it depends on if you want to go with the historical/dictionary definition or the US constitution definition.
roboticKittenTamer
But my point still stands, and the original tweet was fine with its use of treason.
kuriosly
A big reason for the discrepancy is outside the US the scope of Treason is huge, ie: counterfeiting money is treason in Britain.
TheLastSpaceman
pareidoliaperson
I thought the girl gave a self-pitying story and they like let her go. I may be remembering it differently.
MrPowPow
This would be treason.
OverpricedCrayon
I thought she stole it and only after stealing it tried to sell it to Russia. Is that still treason? Russia didn’t send her there.
PballQhead
Espionage is much easier to prove and also ends up with the needle. There's a reason that's what they charged the Rosenbergs with.
LuminoZero
Sedition, actually. They were executed for it.
PballQhead
Incorrect. They were charged and executed under the Espionage Act of 1918. "The needle" is my euphemism for execution, btw.
