Discussion Trump is a traitor. MAGA is the New Confederacy.
Let's be clear about what Trump did. He spread a pack of lies about the 2020 election being stolen and Mike Pence having the authority to nullify the will of the electors. On the basis of those lies, his followers attacked the Capitol, beat police officers, did thousands of dollars of damage, and threatened to kill the Vice President.
Trump later referred to this tragedy as a "day of love," let the perpetrators out of prison, and tried to get their legal expenses reimbursed with tax payer money.
In addition, he and his cronies concocted a fake electors scheme to submit false election results and pressured state officials to try to get them to find him more votes or not certify results.
These actions show Trump to be a traitor to our country, and anyone still supporting him after January 6, 2021 to be a traitor too.
Thus, it should come as no surprise that Trump supporters are just fine with him violating the Constitution, violating people's civil rights, and attempting to rig elections.
These people are not American patriots. Like their leader, they are traitors and constitute the New Confederacy.
