-Claiming that [[dissent is disloyalty]] is basically taking the principle that [[division is weakness]] and extending it logically: if disagreement makes a country weak, then expressing [[dissent]] is equivalent to helping the enemy. Many [[neoconservative]] commentators take this equivalence to the obvious next step and equate dissent with [[treason]], reasoning that dissenters surely ''know'' they are helping the enemy.
-Members of the [[Bush II administration]] have often made this equivalence, as have many of its supporters in the media, even though the idea is completely un[[america]]n in nature and counter to the express beliefs of the [[US founding fathers]].
-These commentators appear to be completely unaware that they are thereby redefining the US as a [[US totalitarianism|totalitarian state]], as some of them have used the accusation of totalitarianism in other contexts (typically against liberals).
