Don't be daft, motley, there need not be actual charges of treason brought against Trump and the Republican party since the public's perception of disloyalty to the United States and collusion with a foreign dictator would be sufficient to disgust a majority of American voters in future elections, be they congressional or presidential. Putin is a dictator, something that might be attractive to Republicans, but to the majority of Americans is repugnant. Americans are aware of the Russian doping scandal at the Sochi Olympics and of whistleblowers having to escape, strange deaths such as founding chairperson of Russia’s state-led anti-doping agency — who resigned in disgrace after the official report came out but who died unexpectedly. Less than two weeks later, a former director for the agency also died. Americans aren't interested in their country being modeled after the likes of Putin's Russia however much the Republicans might like to see our country go in that direction.
