I don’t see this as a war of gays. Brandon Straka wasn’t arrested for being gay.

That's what they all say every time I bring it up. All homophobes try to deny their homophobia and rationalize it as something else. This is a war waged by heterosexuals against the freedom of speech and freedom of choice of gay people.

Freedom of choice/speech doesn't include committing treason or attempting a coup...

Then calling patriots traitors, especially openly gay ones, is treason and thus is not protected by free speech.

No it's not, according to the definition of treason in the U.S. In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the US, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Words are not treason, thanks to the 1st Amendment. I can say what I want, as long as I'm not inciting violence like the rioters were.

The US has committed enough war crimes to make it a terrorist state.

So has Trump, who promoted the riot.

He started the fewest wars of any President this century.

That's a plain lie. He's also the only president in this century to incite his followers to commit treason.

No, he isn't. He's the only modern President who isn't a war criminal, so the oligarchy wants to destroy him. And freedom fighters are not traitors. Calling freedom fighters traitors is treason.
