"Extremist groups" equals RepubliQkkkans

I’m watching yet another “story” about “extremist group” Oath Keepers on CBS Sunday morning.

I’ve seen individual stories on this and other groups but the missing part of the story is that the media will not state the obvious: all of these groups are Republicans.

We know this: there are zero equivalencies with domestic terrorism. There’s no “both sides” on this issue.

Doing individual stories without tying all the loose ends together does an injustice to America.

I think we need to prosecute all of these people as Terrorists. Domestic terrorism somehow softens it, like it's not as bad, when,in fact, it's far worse.

It's terrorism.

Radical, reactionary, religious terrorism. (Yes, Q is a religion.)

There is no equivalent on the left. I'm hard pressed to come up with anything even remotely similar from Democrats and Lefties. Even the Weather Underground's Capitol bombing did little damage ($300,000) and killed no one.

That photographs of ISIS and Al Queda waving their flags while touring the territories in their Toyota tundras look no different from the former guy's army of idiots, except the MAGAts drive F-150s and Chevy SIlverados.
