Well what is your suggested response? I think the lack of calling out terrorism and fascism in this country have already resulted four years of "pushing authoritarian and unethical measures" by the US executive.

>Well what is your suggested response?

If someone is committing crimes, then arrest and prosecute them.

'"pushing authoritarian and unethical measures" by the US executive' has gone on _much_ longer than 4 years.

The response should be to pass $2k relief checks.

...these people are the authoritarians. They want to usher in some sort of bizarre "law and order" where they define what those things mean. They were literally beating police offers and saying "we're on your side" at the same time.

Yeah, this precedent is very troubling to say the least. If or when things swing the other way, this will not go well for everybody.

Umm I'm not sure which group you're referring to!

Are they distinguishable by their terroristic activities alone?

The amount of victimization through projection currently taking place is kind of shocking. I don't know of a single person that has been called a Terrorist for anything other than calling for violence against others. Why self-proclaimed "peaceful" conservatives continue to lump themselves in with white-supremacists and domestic terrorists is beyond me.

You can pretend that people are being persecuted for being a Republican but 30 seconds of fact checking will disprove that. In fact the only ones calling for violence against Republicans are those very same white supremacists and domestic terrorists because it seems that anyone that doesn't align with Donald Trump is somehow not a conservative. Mike Pence isn't a Republican? Really? I can't think of a politician much further right, and somehow he's no longer acceptable.

If your political belief system is "whatever Trump thinks this week" then maybe it's time to re-evaluate what you really stand for.

What I love about this comment is how politically ambiguous it is. You cant tell which “side” it’s arguing for which is exactly the point - the same argument can be used by both sides. That’s what makes it so dangerous.

It's trying to equate calling out actual terrorist acts carried by self-identified insurrectionists, with calling "Everyone" a terrorist.

No, we're not calling everyone a terrorist. Not even everyone on Parler, though clearly some were, and the service rules were set up to facilitate them planning their atrocities. We're calling these terrorists what they are. Pipe bombs and a dead policeman for goodness sake.

Where do we draw the line?

Its also complete accident that there is now a 20000 page "Patriot Act 2.0" being pushed as a solution.

Links or is this FUD.

Perhaps GlobalProtect was referring to HR 4192?
