"Left-leaning Americans"
As usual, you know damn well which people I'm talking about, both in the media, politics, and here. Don't play cute again.
I don't believe I mentioned treason, which is pretty much beside the point since for all intents and purposes there is no such thing any more anyway.
I simply said that in every issue where our enemies wanted a certain outcome to a controversy, or a certain side presented, that's the side where you'd find these people.
That's nothing new. It was the same during the latter years of the Cold War.
