      Its literally a USCIS question for naturalization interview.

      Question like: “Have you ever been a member of the nazi party”, “Have you ever persecuted, or tried to persecute, anyone for religion/race/national origin/political opinions” (correct answer is “no”); “do you support the constitution and form of government [aka: Democracy, Separation of powers, etc…]” (correct answer is “yes”)

      If magats were assessed on this standard, they would absolutely fail (provided that the interviewers were unbiased).

      Like holy shit, you could be denied citizenship or even be deported for smoking weed (since that’s still illegal federally, even under democratic administrations). Like, hypothetically if you got citizenship in, say, 2016 right before trump first got elected, then they find out now in 2025 that you smoked weed in 2015, they could retroactively revoke your citizenship for the crime of violating the controlled substances act, and denaturalization happens in Civil Court where standards of proof is lower than “Beyond Resonable Doubt” (that is, assuming they even obey the law).

      All that stringent process, but then we have these obvious traitors sitting on the highest office of the land. What an absolute insult to all of the naturalized citizens who swore their allegience to the constitution.

      Btw: List of questions they ask: https://www.literacymn.org/sites/default/files/yes_no_qs.pdf magas will never pass this test

      My Grandpa was in the military, and he went to prison for being mean to Nazis.

      Of course that was a German POW prison.

      And by being mean I mean dropping bombs on them from his B-24.

        I appreciate the sentiment, but for the record, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a civilian award, so it’s unlikely that anyone was awarded one for killing Nazis (although I’d be happy to be proven otherwise!). With it being the highest civilian award available, the military equivalent should be the Medal of Honor, which requires gallantry at the risk of one’s own life above and beyond the call of duty.
