Sadly yes, only those groups still seem to want to put the Constitution first above individual politicians.

But hey....if you want to believe in an unfounded conspiracy that can be used to discourage conservative voters from casting in their votes for future elections, go right ahead. Nothing else would make the DNC happier.
No, that's not remotely what they said. they claimed (and still do) that anyone even daring to question the outcome of this election was a traitor /seditionist /terrorist /etc. ad nauseam.

There's really no comparison.

Explain how they are 'putting the Constitution first.'

I had no idea there was something in the Constitution preventing people from questioning election outcomes.

I do consider Trump to be a traitor, but not everyone who questioned the election. Sadly most of those people were just poisoned with his lies, and some still don’t want to see it.

I consider Trump to have become a traitor to the US Constitution the instant on 1/6 that he became comfortable with violence taking place against the US government. He used the ongoing violence as political leverage in his first conversation with McCarthy, still extolling Congress to overturn the election.

There isn’t. That’s their free speech right.

And they are putting the Constitution first by telling the truth about Trump, rather than continue to sweep his lies under the rug like some in the R party would still prefer.

Hillary's lies went on for 4 years; Stacy Abrams for three (and counting). Yet not once did I hear you complaining about those. Seems odd.

Are they 'traitors'?

I had no idea there was anything in the Constitution commanding politicians to 'tell the truth about Trump', which sounds highly subjective. can you direct us to the relevant portions of the constitution where this is stated?

We are in unusual times with an ex-president claiming the election was stolen 6 months later, nothing prohibiting him nor his supporters but it is dangerous to democracy. Like we have heard so many times "it's legal" but it isn't based on fact, just conspiracy theories.

The instant Trump incorporated political violence as a component part of his bid for a second term (which imo he did in that conversation with McCarthy), he became a traitor under this definition imo.
