The phrase 'politically motivated sentencing' should immediately cause every journalist covering this case to sit up and take notice, because it is precisely the high-profile event which should be described as a part of the rapid downslide into a fascist, authoritarian hellscape.

These people were not sentenced as they were because they committed crimes. These people were so sentenced because they were Trump's enemies. By being protesters they declared themselves in opposition to the reign of the Kumquat Komrade, and that is, evidently, worthy of a functional death sentence.
