      In the US, yes. It’s pretty contentious and hasn’t been used much.

      Unsurprisingly a large number of them occured under Trump’s administration.

      Yeah, that’s why actually charging Trump for the insurrection would be so much of an issue. It would make him an enemy of the state, and anyone who aided him would be considered guilty of treason. The sentence for Treason is life or death. (Life in prison, or the death penalty)

      One could argue that giving money to someone is aid … thereby all of the GOP would be guilty of treason… And that would throw us into chaos

        He is an enemy of the State, in the most literal sense of the phrase. He tried to overthrow the legitimate government FFS!

        Holy shit, that’s serious. Thankfully he’s supposedly rich, so non of this applies to him. Instead he gets another 4 years of insurrection.

          Well this time he didn’t need an insurrection, the American people just gave him the job back knowing what he did previously. The fact that no one even tries to say he is a decent person or a good person, and he’s who got picked, says a lot about our population.
