Terrorism: the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

Trump called on his followers to protest and “take our nation back” in the event he is arrested. I don’t know about you guys, but that kind of sounds like threats of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims to me.

Also had a Republican congressman tell people that they needed to go scorched earth on this.

She's on the Homeland security committee, telling Americans to commit violence to prevent a republican from being arrested for crimes.

Did she say that in the past in general, or specifically about him getting arrested this week?

They're white folks that play christian, and the government will bend over backward to avoid any talk of arresting, terrorism or the like.

They’re not playing Christian, they are Christian theocratic fascists.

Nah, most of the politicians in the higher levels of government for the right are about as religious as my socks. But their voters are a lot more god-bothering, so it behooves the politicians to put that face on to appeal to their base.

With a few exceptions that really are crazed zealots.

No way Trump is a Christian. He uses Christian’s, but he is not one.

As I understand it from half of the country it's

Terrorism: Being non-white and/or non-Christian and wanting to be treated like a human being.

real shocker that the group that called themselves "domestic terrorists" at their political action conference are doing domestic terrorist things.

Have to be brown to be a terrorist. If you’re white you’re just a patriot.
