Domestic terrorism is ramping under your party's banner. Tesla attacks, bombings, attacking Republicans at Town Halls, AOC preaching hate, et al. And the Democratic political leaders are pushing even more instead of fixing their own party. Not sure how you could possibly support these criminalsPorteroso said:
Hopefully they are all arrested. Generally the police try for de-escalation in these cases, and try to nab them later.
But labeling Americans as terrorists is not likely, to answer your question. They're just organized hoodlums.
Not sure there would be enough liberals left to staff the House and Senate.BearFan33 said:
IMO if you arrest the people that are financing ANTIFA, for the most part, they will go away.
There has never been an issue with (rightfully) calling right wing extremists, domestic terrorists. I'm not sure why anyone would try to downplay this as just "hoodlums".Porteroso said:

The older ones are definitely brainwashing the younger. That we agree on. Unfortunately, the younger ones are those doing damage, inciting riots, etc.ron.reagan said:
Antfia is mostly stupid kids. I agree that we should go after the older adults funding it not fill our jail with 20 year old edgelords
Violence and the threat of violence are very different.Assassin said:
Terrorism is generally defined as the calculated use of violence or the threat of violence against non-combatants, often to achieve political or ideological goals. It involves intimidation or coercion of populations or governments through the threat or perpetration of violence, causing death, serious injury, or taking hostages. The primary goal is to instill fear and influence decision-makers.

Apparently you didnt fully understand the stated definition of Terrorism. "Calculated us of violence or the threat of violence against non-combatants often to achieve political or ideological goals". The latter describes Antifa to a Tron.reagan said:Violence and the threat of violence are very different.Assassin said:

Starting a car on fire vs starting a person on fire are very different.
There is a reason we have so many different categories of very similar crimes. Throwing everyone in the same group as Jihadists that take political activist way to far is not a sane approach.
Largely because the left lacks principles and creates in real-time definitions, history, and a worldview to fit whatever particular narrative is in the moment.contrario said:There has never been an issue with (rightfully) calling right wing extremists, domestic terrorists.

We condemn last night’s violent and illegal occupation of a UW building. Roughly 30 people were arrested and we thank UWPD, Seattle Police and the Washington State Patrol for their assistance in a swift resolution.

On May 5, Antifa, Trantifa and far-left extremists carried out a pre-planned attack on the Portland State campus to try to shut down a @Riley_Gaines_ speaking event. Most the extremists were not students but outside agitators. Some were part of the deadly 2020 BLM-Antifa riots in… pic.twitter.com/YMGdpkLybU

Portland Trantifa Emery Rose Hall, a man aka Gordon Hall, was arrested at the Antifa attack at PSU on May 5. He's been quickly released without bail. In May 2021, he was arrested at another riot and had all the charges dropped. https://t.co/yYffp7zHj3 https://t.co/zw3OLryDFd pic.twitter.com/BPmAsVaKqN

Yeah, the non-combatants that were not present were under threat from the unarmed protestors who had weapons in the next state. Pretty sure the random walking around in the Capitol proved it was far from calculated, unless you count the calculated way the FBI used its assets within the crowd.Sam Lowry said:"The calculated use of violence or the threat of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological goals, primarily to instill fear and influence policy makers."Wangchung said:They have to actually be those things is the only point of contention your labels have run up against.Sam Lowry said:No issue?

None were seen on the security footage. How odd. None of the protestors were armed with anything other than the mob of idiots around them. I guess that means they were armed. Well I'll be damned.
