Terrorism is absolutely a socially constructed idea. The current idea of the charge is based on the moral concept that violence in pursuit of religious or political goals is unacceptable. (You don’t have to accept that but we absolutely teach it in American school so most people just reflexively believe it)
Terrorism as it’s original idea was violence against civilians to terrify them into acting in a certain way. Like the KKK burning a cross in someone’s yard to warn them or a lynching where the entire town attends and takes pictures.
That said a single assassination where the shooter disappears afterwards, leaves no calling cards, makes no announcement, no demands, doesn’t really fit the profile of actual terrorism. They’re charging terrorism because it fits the letter of the law and it’s automatically discrediting to many Americans. Not because it’s actually Terrorism.
Calling him a terrorist is supposed to make people afraid to support him otherwise they might be stripped of their rights and tortured in gitmo.
It’s like a terrorism reverse uno card. Use the charge of terrorism to cause terror and prevent people from organizing against the greedy, insatiable monsters that run this country by greasing each other’s hands.

Excellently explained, the OP screenshots are the insane babblings of a mad woman
I think you read my comment wrong. I agree with her.
Oh okay, that’s unfortunate. At least you made a good point at the end.
What is she wrong about?
If you read that and agree with every point, I’m not going to bother explaining.
Goodbye
