Wartime intolerance: Be ready to be called a traitor for disagreeing with Biden

Published



We’ve been through this before. In the wake of 9/11, we were called “unpatriotic” when we criticized the administration’s conduct of the “Global War on Terror.” When President Barack Obama was invading Libya, we were called traitors for pointing out it was a bad idea.

Now if you criticize President Joe Biden at all, or vote against Democratic legislation, your patriotism is called into question, and you are called a crony of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The word “treason” is even getting thrown around. And these accusations aren’t coming from random people on Twitter, but from elected Democrats, Republicans, and leading liberal commentators.
