Does nobody else ever get slightly uncomfortable with "traitor" rhetoric? Like it's hip to call the Confederacy traitors but when it comes to describing their crimes, why do we default to the one that involves being on the wrong side of a power structure? That doesn't really seem like the worse thing most traitors do.

Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

Being a traitor to a creed is the worst form of treason because you're directly betraying an idea instead of its representative.
Many Lost Causer twits claim to be 'loyal' American patriots in the modern day. Calling them traitors emphasizes that they have no loyalty to the polity they claim to be patriots of - their only loyalty is to racism and bigotry.
