No problem. Treason is a traitorous act, and a traitor is the person
committing the traitorous act.

That much is obvious, but your chosen usage belies a poor grasp of your
[presumably] native language, if not, as so often in the past, the facts of
a particular issue.

Your original quote was "...Yeah, yeah, anybody who doesn't goose step to
the party is either a traitor, or treasonous..." So, this particular
person is either a traitor or treasonous. As the two words are merely
different form of the same root, the former the noun and the latter the
adjective, your statement is akin to saying "That car is either red or red".
A traitor has, by implication, performed a treasonous act. One who has
performed a treasonous act is, by definition, a traitor.

Given that your statement makes no sense in the original format, my query
was simply an attempt to ascertain your intended meaning. Perhaps a
pointless endeavor.

...perhaps you can look
them up at dictionary.com, to save yourself some embarrassment.

Hmmm. Yes, perhaps.
