    Toss a rock at a shitty car? Terrorist

    Shoot a thief that stole part of your life by denying you Healthcare? Terrorist

    Plot and carry out a plan to kill people due to their political beliefs during a time you know you could have reason to be around them and use shady online services to help plan things in order to coerce political change?

    checks every possible definition to find a loophole

    Not terrorism? poker face

    10/10 government we have, just the best people, I’m super duper thrilled to be trapped in this shit hole country

        Hot take but being a high-ranking member of a fascist political party should absolutely make you a target of violence. The only concerns are tactical.

            I don’t want to kill Republicans. I don’t have the skills and I’m also not American. Furthermore, you are right that the climate is suboptimal for assassinations of Republican politicians at this point. My point was one of morals: it is ethically justified to kill a fascist politician. That’s why I said the concerns are tactical.

            As someone who was born in Russia, I think I would still be living there if that miserable piece of shit rat that runs the country fucking died in the most painful way possible.

    Part of it, and I know it might be upsetting, is that “domestic terrorism” as a charge gets the feds involved. The president can pardon federal crimes but not state crimes. So if he gets a bunch of state crimes he cannot be pardoned by the president and has to serve the terms.

    Remember in America, when a white Christian man does something evil it’s the act of an individual and says nothing about society. But when a person falls out of that demographic it’s an act that’s an afont on society and needs immediate fixing.
