To justly and accurately label someone as a traitor does NOT require that they meet the legal test for treason as defined in the US Constitution.
Judas Iscariot was a traitor yet he was born the better part of two millennia prior to the drafting of the US Constitution.
The traitorous scum who participated in the January 6, 2021 insurrection against the United States were, indeed, traitors.
And now they're to be (metaphorically, in the criminal law courts) crucified and locked-up and the key thrown away - as a severe example for the future.
They broke the faith and tried to forcibly block the keystone process in the sacred American tradition of a peaceful transfer of power.
For that, they will pay a just and terrible price... including carrying felony convictions around their necks for the rest of their miserable lives.
Phukk 'em.
Time to break out the popcorn.
