> Terrorism means using violence or threat of violence to influence social or political decisions.

So like the shooting of a black church by a white supremacist explicitly for the purposes of espousing white supremacy?

> Hunting or threatening people of a certain race or gender or orientation or hobby to scare them and others away is terrorism.

So like the lgbtq club shooting, or the black church, or the 1989 shooting specifically targeting women?

But to stay on topic, reading this article is clearly also terrorism, since only a minority(+) of congress disagrees.

(+) “minority” has apparently been redefined to be 60-66% whenever the goal is to stop congress from doing something reprehensible.
