you don't get to continue to vote in elections held by the country from which you seceded, or hold office in same.

I really am beginning to think the country would be immensely better if we could simply carve out a state's worth of land somewhere, and let all these nutcases have what they really want, their own little Somalia, and even pay to help them all move there. They'd no longer be dragging the rest of us to the right, and take their lunatic politicians with them. It would be 'win-win', with them getting an anarchist paradise, and the rest of us getting rid of them. And no 'backsies'. Once they go, they lose their US citizenship permanently and can't get it back. Put them on the border somewhere, and build a serious wall, and make illegal entry from 'dumbfuckistan' an offense punishable with 20 years in jail before deportation back. Don't even grant them visas to visit.
