Oh shit, The Onion has clearly infiltrated a few leftist groups in their time. That’s fucking hilarious.
“he’d already aroused suspicion by interrupting a meandering discussion of principles with a straightforward plan of action.”

Left-wing groups: disorganized
Right-wing groups: incredibly bad at opsec

Left-wing groups: Beaten and arrested by police for peacefully protesting.
Right-wing groups: Attempt to overthrow democracy, get off scot-free.
get off scot-free

A few years for treason is not long.
No one has been charged for treason because guess what, it doesnt count as treason.
