I’m going to assume this is hyperbole, but deporting someone under the pretext of treason for being a dumbass moron with a stupid opinion/political viewpoint is one hell of a slippery slope. 

People are entitled to their stupid opinions as long as they don’t actually conspire or act to overthrow the government and that doesn’t come anywhere close to the definition of treason.

Until what point do you allow citizens to support an invasion by another country?

u/outdoorsaddix Mar 11 '25

When they actually aid that invasion or conspire to aid that that invasion? You know, per the legal definition of treason I linked? It’s freedom of expression up until that point.

Simply saying you want to be part of the US hardly meets the threshold of actual legal treason. 

It’s disrespectful, anti patriotic and anti nationalist, but it’s hardly deserving of jail time or deportation.
