Yeah, he's a Trump supporter. That he labels this past election as 'fraud' is 'meh'. There are plenty of people (on the right, but especially on the left) that call out election fraud (from voter suppression, to illegals voting, to Russians hacking voting machines etc.) after every election. Where is this coup support?

To be a Trump supporter in December 2020 is be ignorant or to be a traitor, as Trump is currently in the midst of a (failed) coup attempt, and his lieutenants have been trying to float the idea of of martial law. Most Trump supporters are just ignorant, but Scott Adams is no isolated fool, so unfortunately his continued support for Trump is, yes, willfully seditious. Matters are very rarely black and white, but when you have someone openly attempting to retroactively cancel an election after he lost, while undermining efforts to secure it beforehand, the contrast is at a maximum, and the choice should be easy.

  In America, it isn't possible to commit treason unless there is a legally declared war going on (there hasn't been one for decades.) Otherwise, 'traitor' is nothing more than an insult.

Geez Louise. >but when you have someone openly attempting to retroactively cancel an election after he lost, Let me fix that for you to add some context: "but when you have someone OPENLY AND LEGALLY attempting to retroactively cancel an election after he lost". Trump is going through the court system. He has a right to do that. Do you want to live in a country where candidates are not allowed to challenge election results in court?? Really really? So far outcomes of the lawsuits resulted in some votes that were missed to be counted (like the flash cards in Georgia), some re-counts that resulted in Biden getting a bigger voter-share, and a number of lawsuits being thrown out. Seems like the system is working as intended. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
