(714 posts)6. This explains it pretty well
http://www.news18.com/news/india/sedition-and-treason-the-difference-between-the-two-506675.html
Sedition is an overt subversive act which leads to incitement against status quo or authority or order. It is a challenge to the establishment. It may be a book, a painting, an idea, a speech, pretty much anything that can act as a vehicle of an anti-establishment idea.
Treason, on the other hand, involves colluding with anti-national forces in terms of providing material support to people or groups who work against the idea of one's nation.
So sedition is against a government in power where as treason is violation of one's allegiance to one's country or sovereign. Sedition threatens a government or individuals in power and treason threatens the entire country with all its people
However, in many societies the differences between the two have become blurred and sedition has been closely linked to acts of terrorism and public safety violation.

(762 posts)8. So it was sedition before the election, treason after? n/t
And then because of the power of the office it becomes high treason. From the Wikipedia;
Treason is criminal disloyalty. Historically, in common law countries, high treason is treason against the state. It was differentiated from petty treason (or petit treason), which was treason against a lesser lawful superior (such as a servant killing his master).

You'll never ever convince those who will follow tRump to his downfall. There isn't enough proof now that they are fully vested in the RW lie.

...and hires crooks who'll cut corners.
Not because he expected to win, but because he doesn't knwo how to do things right, and wouldn't if he knew.
