He is worse. Far worse. He is exactly what Cicero referred to.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for s/he is known and carries his/her banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his/her sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; s/he speaks in accents familiar to his/her victims, and s/he wears their face and their arguments, s/he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men (and women). S/He rots the soul of a nation, s/he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, s/he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

It was one gender. Catiline was a guy. And after a few speeches by Cicero he ended up sitting alone.

Self-awareness maybe isn't your thing. This is actually a description of the present iteration of the Republican Party - an authoritarian movement contemptuous of democracy, beholden to hostile foreign actors, & which has tacitly approved the tactical deployment of violence against not only its political opponents but also against the institutions of the American state.

Unfortunately our government is infested with these traitors.
Sickening actually.
