Benedict Arnold is proof that life isn't black and white, it's gray. Yes, he did some good things early on in our country's fight for independence, especially at Saratoga. But as we tick through the ledger of moral and patriotic debits and credits, the scale ultimately (and overwhelmingly) tilts in the direction of his being an absolutely horrible person who attempted to sell out the revolutionary cause in favor of his own benefit. In fact, he played a direct role in the deaths of Americans (see the last British victory of the war at New London). All of this is to say that Trump and his supporters, through their support of those who stormed the Capitol on January 6th, are favoring their own benefit to that of the country.
I realize my comments might suggest that I am comparing people who support the, to use their term, "J6 Patriots", to that of Benedict Arnold, a traitor, but I cannot think of a better way to demonstrate, anecdotally, what their support for those who attempted to overturn the election represents to this country in a modern context.
