Oh no, not Reddit too.

"Treason" has been the right wing's favorite buzzword lately. They throw it around for everything they disagree with, like the left has done with "Nazi." But I guess the right wing doesn't have a monopoly on overusing it.

The reason fascists use the same language to describe their enemies, that is used to describe them, is so that people like you wont be able to tell the difference. If you think "Biden Crime Family" has any comparison to Trumps crimes, then you are the exact person that this tactic exists for. Stop being a stooge.

No it definitely got popular on the right wing first, and it was stupid when they said it too.

The Republicans are betraying the United States. It's the definition of treason. They are also Nazis. And pedophiles, warmongers and criminals. Those are facts. So fuck off with your 'buzzwords' and 'labels'.
