Lots of people have pointed out your misuse of the word “treason.” The word you probably meant to use is “sedition.”

Sure, why not.
My question is: who gets to keep the nukes?

Well, not everyone made that choice. Some had that choice forced upon them, by slave traders, kidnappers, conscription, war, pogroms, famine, etc. My own family on my dad’s side came during the lesser famine (we think), were from the west of Ireland and likely came out of lack of choices back home. Lots of people did come out of choice, but even then, it was often because they had options here they didn’t have back home and even already had a family network of some kind set up for work.
People would sometimes say the same thing to African Americans during the civil rights era - if the south is so bad, why not just stay. Well, because as American citizens, they should be allowed to live where they want in their own country.
It really does disturb me that people are willing to write off entire sections of the country (going both ways here), ignoring that all parts of the country are often heterogeneous, politically, culturally, and socially. Those of us who live in the south shouldn’t be written off, I don’t think.

Yes. It’s almost like someone realizes that keeping people busy just trying to make ends meet keeps them too busy to complain effectively about their circumstances…

And who decides what is clearly unconstitutional or against human rights? Akuno? You? Kim?
My point is that you can’t encourage people to ignore laws they don’t agree with and condemn people like Davis for doing the
same thing.
That depends: are we condemning her tactics or her cause?

Don’t forget punching people in the face!
In the case of Kim Davis the “clearly unconstitutional” part was decided by the Supreme Court of the United States. She lost her job because she refused to uphold her own oath of office and directly defied a Federal court order.
In a post-Obergefell v. Hodges world there was no remotely plausible argument to be made that her actions were somehow upholding the Constitution.

According to exit polls, 53 percent of white women seem to not mind being “grabbed by the pussy” and voted for a colored man.

I’m not particularly good at geography, but…
I don’t think that’s where I remember Louisiana being.

15 stripes and 63 stars. It’s either a bad flag or American imperialism gone crazy. No wonder that seagull is crying.

All but cosmetically indistinguishable from every US administration since Reagan, then.
Well, OK, at least Clinton and Bush Sr. paid the bills for their foreign military adventuring. That’s a meaningful difference. And Clinton did pay for the wall he built to keep the Mexicans out, in 1994-96, he didn’t just carve it out of the Mexican aid budget, so that’s something, too.
