    Yeah the issue is somehow white nationalist mows down a mall = troubled teen, liberal (re: minority because nuance and reality are things they struggle to grasp) attacks on private property resulting in zero death or major injury = domestic terrorism.

    Iirc they didn’t even label the assassination attempt as domestic terrorism.

        Yes that’s what the other person is saying. It is clearly domestic terrorism but because the left in large part feel it to be a moral action that it isn’t domestic terrorism and that’s just wildly idiotic. Almost to a person terrorists believe themselves to be doing something morally correct while also being intentionally morally abborant.

        It’s a very dumb term to use in earnest, just call them what they did and stop trying to make morality a legal question.
