Have you been on the Donald. Win lately? At what point are we allowed to stop people from planning treason?

This is a strange comment to make, are you making an investigation of sorts or do you frequently go on websites of people you politically despise?

Yes, I do. To live in a bubble and not expose yourself to things you don't like is to live a life of blissful ignorance.

That may work for you, but I like to be educated and have insight.

I read Breitbart and the comments for that exact reason. It's pretty illuminating.

Yup, I purposely follow some blogs and Twitter accounts of awful people, to see what they're up to.

Keep your friends close, and...

Do you only read things you agree with?

Agreed. A lot of folk on HN right now are having difficulty identifying or naming treason and sedition.

No, they're having trouble trying to say that they agree with the values held by the people who tried to stage a coup, without saying quiet part out loud.
