Arizona's phony electors aren't patriots, they're traitors

One of the great mistakes we’ve made during the Trump era, and there have been many, is failing to call out traitors who claim to be patriots.

They are cumbersome words – patriot and traitor. They’re old-fashioned, weighty, archaic, lodged in the throats of second-rate actors in B movies. It takes something close to arrogance to insist that you are a patriot or to accuse someone else of being a traitor.

But if you claim to be a patriot and then act in a way that contradicts the entire notion of what that means, what else would you be but a traitor?

So how else should we view the men and women who signed fake electoral certificates after the 2020 election hoping to subvert that constitutional work of the Electoral College, overturn the outcome of a duly certified election and, in essence, stage a coup that would have kept Donald Trump in office?

To be patriotic requires mutual respect when it comes to the rights and liberties of others. And to get to that point, the prejudices and selfish interests of people must be overcome, as George Washington said, "enlightening public opinion."
