    If only there was a term they could use referencing the use and threat of violence in order to achieve political gains. It feels like that’s a word that should exist already, and that Republicans should all be considered the domestic version of whatever kind of person would do that.

      I know the term you are looking for, but probably the shooters are white Christian nationalists.

      Which means they are definitely not political terrorists who are terrorizing .

      But I could be wrong and these are terrorists. Who knows? Perhaps one is mixed race or stepped into a mosque within the last 20 years. Let’s keep an open mind

          I reckon it’s supposed to be sarcasm, that since they are white Christians they can’t be terrorists, unless they are “mixed” race or have been in a Mosque
