And T.S. Elliot was a Bostonian, but adopted British! Kubrick made all his iconic movies (except Spartacus and Paths of Glory) while settled in Britain, and shot most of them in British studios.

As an author no. But as a director, they could be elevated to the status of creator, and perhaps directing is the truer American art form rather than ...epic poetry or the novel. Which speaks to the core of the question at a different level

If that's the "worst part" about them, reacting like that to sedition plans, it sounds quite tame. It's not like people elsewhere, cough , are not arrested for protesting against the bombing in Palestine or against ICE.
