The really cool part is how in a shorter than you think amount of time they’ll use this precedent to apply a new definition of “terrorist” to people who never left the country, then “terrorist” will get broader and broader. “Those communist socialist scum are terrorizing our voting booths.”
When protection from the government only applies to citizens and the government finds acceptable ways to turn citizens into non-citizens with easily malleable definitions…
Then you’ve got yourself a fascist stew going.
Like when Obama assassinated that US citizen (who was a massive piece of shit btw) overseas openly and nobody really bitched.
