    If only there was a term they could use referencing the use and threat of violence in order to achieve political gains. It feels like that’s a word that should exist already, and that Republicans should all be considered the domestic version of whatever kind of person would do that.

      I know the term you are looking for, but probably the shooters are white Christian nationalists.

      Which means they are definitely not political terrorists who are terrorizing .

      But I could be wrong and these are terrorists. Who knows? Perhaps one is mixed race or stepped into a mosque within the last 20 years. Let’s keep an open mind

          I reckon it’s supposed to be sarcasm, that since they are white Christians they can’t be terrorists, unless they are “mixed” race or have been in a Mosque

    "Arizona Democrats closed their field office in Tempe, Ariz. after three shooting incidents. The office served as a base for the Sun State’s congressional campaigns and Vice President Harris’s presidential effort in recent weeks.

    "The Tempe Police Department said the latest incidents on Oct. 6 involved gun shots fired at the Democratic campaign office at around 12:30 a.m. They said no one was inside the building. Officers are now looking for a silver Toyota Highlander with an unknown plate, which was seen on the premises. "

    This is a good thing. The constitution in intentionally design to preserve entrenched power. It’s why we’re the most powerful country in the world.

      This is the dumbest shit I’ve read all week. If you want to talk about entrenched power, then look no further than The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society as well as their billionaire donors. No one is taking shots at them, of course.

        Yes obviously not. Democrats are controlled opposition anyway intended to grind down any really social movements into the graveyard of democracy. Preserving capitalism. Which is a good thing.
