Yes it's anti American to think that people who attempt to influence elections based on threats of violence (terrorism) should be stripped of citizenry and either thrown in prison or deported to some shithole

yeah dudes getting what he should get, well a portion anyway, as an american. he had his day in court and now is facing the consequences. he should have a longer sentence but whatever. theres people in jail for longer for much less.

That's the opposite argument you should be making here. There are people in prison for 40+ years for weed meanwhile actual American terrorists are given minimal sentencing. That should make you fucking livid.

Show me the constitutional provision or law that allows us to strip Americans of their birthright and ship them to an extra-judicial torture camp.

I'll wait.
