You have to consider the original intent of the Founding Fathers when they wrote the text. Did the Founders consider the rise of progressives and modern liberals when they wrote the Amendment? The Loyalists were allowed to stay in the US after the Revolutionary War provided they weren't trying to advocate for the reestablishment of the King. The Loyalists who stayed are quite different from the Democrats of today.

If liberals were merely stupid, the laws of probability would dictate that at least some of their decisions would serve America's interests. That never has been the case, and nothing suggests it ever will be. It really does come down to, "Do you think traitorous liberals should be allowed to operate on American soil?", and the Founders and conservatives would strongly disagree with that statement. If you agree with that statement, you are harming our country.

There were disagreements galore among the Founders at the time. Jefferson’s views would be considered completely off the wall today. Treason is already illegal and if someone is found to fall under that legal standard there are means to prosecute.
