POTUS has been throwing around the "treason" label a lot this term, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he started pushing for executions of his political opponents or reporters he doesn't like.
There are some troubling signs that things are headed in that direction (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/11/20/sediti...)
The greater problem is that many innocent people have already been and certainly will be murdered because of the death penalty. That should be totally unacceptable.
