Why not offer that same mechanical logic to Trump? I.E., He was purely reminding the lawmakers of the penalty of sedition. If you aren’t consistent, your argument stops being logical and becomes partisan.

So you're saying, in your opinion, it's reasonable to suggest that the military might not follow orders?

Come on man. I know for a fact you're smart enough to know the positions aren't logically compatible.

no.
I'm saying CIA style propaganda might successfully influence individuals into bad action.

But you just gave disobeying orders as your example of a bad action.

The military code of criminal justice won't look on this as kindly as you suspect, if that is the route that this goes.

I don't care what those individuals say. I heard what I heard and we can use history as a precedent.

It's the only example that matters to the contradiction. So we're right back to square one. I'm not trying to be a dick here but we could have this circular conversation for eternity and you won't resolve the contradiction.

Perhaps not. But in the Japanese triad of monkeys "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil," you're the one with hands over his ears.

You have a guy like Bowe Bergdahl, who becomes disaffected by statements as the one we are addressing. He goes off and does something stupid against orders. He puts lives at risk as a result. There is no excuse for the message that these seditious SOBs put out. None! There should be a consequence. Hopefully there will be.

right. so be logically consistent.

What the right sees is an entire political party maintaining an overt, blanket position that Trump is a threat to democracy and deeming every executive action "illegal" - not just rhetorically, but pursuing those ends in court (approximately 300 cases). Then, leaders from that same party post a video accusing Trump of pitting the military against the American people and threatening the Constitution before stating that "unlawful orders need not be followed". Naturally, the context and implication are seditious. But the left is making the "mechanical logic" (your words, not mine) defense of this video, that they didn't technically accuse Trump of unlawful orders, so this was just a bizarre PSA of some sort and we shouldn't worry about context and implication.

OK, I'm willing to go there with you, until you start applying the context and implication standard to Trump's response. And where was all of the "mechanical logic" over Trump's J6 speech, or a number of comments (bloodbath, second amendment people, etc.)?

Either we scrutinize context and implication for all politicians or none.

Who said Trump should be prosecuted for his comments?

Who is criticizing Trump's comments on a legal/rhetorical level?

Now, on an EMOTIONAL level? Sure. He took the bait and looks bad. Nobody said it was illegal, though.
