‘sedition’
Trending:Lookups spiked 1,500% on January 6, 2021
免费网站看v片:Sedition once again rose through the ranks and became one of our top lookups, in the first week of 2021, after making numerous appearances in articles on political upheaval.
This is sedition, plain and simple. No amount of playacting and rationalizing can change the fact that the majority of the Republican Party and its apologists are advocating for the overthrow of an American election and the continued rule of a sociopathic autocrat.

We define sedition as “incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.” Many people differentiate between this word and 免费网站看v片:treason, which we define as “the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family.” Because sedition is limited to organizing and encouraging opposition to government rather than directly participating in its overthrow, many view it as falling one step short of the more serious crime of treason. One who incites or promotes sedition is a 免费网站看v片:seditionist, or, less commonly, a 免费网站看v片:seditionary.
