Donald Trump, who is not the president, is using a minority of Republicans to block aid to Ukraine, to undermine the actual president’s foreign policy, and to weaken American power and credibility.

Smells like all Republicans are traitors
There are a number who aren't, like Liz Cheney. It's possible to disagree almost completely with somebody on policy, and still recognize that they're not a traitor.
Not that the rest of the Republican party accepts them or will allow them to win a primary anymore.
Do Republicans who got kicked out of the party still count, though?
Right, but that is what it smells like.
Exactly, they are no longer the same thing. Maybe it's finally time to realize there are more than two options.
If you're a longstanding Republican and looking for another home, that's not a bad idea. If you want the Republicans to lose the next election, you need to actively vote for a Democrat. These three scenarios show why:
Scenario 1:
D - 9 votes
R - 10 votes
T - 0 votes
Republican wins
Scenario 2:
D - 9 votes
R - 9 votes
T - 1 vote
Tied election, decided by a coin toss
Scenario 3:
D - 10 votes
R - 9 votes
T - 0 votes
Democrat wins
I mean, that line of reasoning can get a bit dicey. Given that they're in the electoral majority, I think that technically makes the Democrats traitors.
Your "given" is false.
I'll grant you this - Republican leadership are all traitors.
The Nazis were traitor to the German nation, didnt matter that they were the majority.
The Nazis were a nationalist movement with enormous support within the German state. Who were they betraying, exactly?
