I was just remembering those liberate Michigan tweets he sent out when his storm troopers showed up at the state house armed to the teeth. We knew then he would stop at nothing

I’m 85% sure no jury will convict him of that, assuming he’s even prosecuted.

Mouthing tired political mantras like, "rise up" and "take back" are hardly going to be described as treason or sedition - either then or now. Typical political cant.

(and we'd actually be in kind of sad shape if they were. can we all think 'totalitarian controls' for just a moment?)

I'm afraid it probably isn't seditious.

As much as I'd like to see him hauled off to jail, tried, then imprisoned... (!!!!!)

Hate that man(child).

We can all hope that there are things (hidden in the bushes) for which the orange one can be brought to trial - but this doesn't come within a million miles of such. And it's kind of a disservice to put this kind of shallow and facile rhetoric, one can hardly call it reasoned or an argument, out there.
