Nothing helps stop Trump bleeding support from the senior woman demographic quite like a young whippersnapper punching a 70-year-old woman to the ground for her support of Harris.

      This guy should definitely face punishment, but maybe we shouldn’t dilute the term “domestic terrorism” with something like this…

        We absolutely should apply the DHS definition to crimes that match that definition. We should also prosecute those who put people’s lives in danger in violent attacks motivated by a desire to suppress free and open elections to the fullest extent of the law.

        Otherwise the terrorists win.

        on one hand, you’re absolutely right. this was an attack between individuals.

        on the other hand, it is their definition. frankly, they won’t hesitate to call us domestic terrorists for protesting against the reduction or complete removal of our civil liberties.

        i say let the judge, judge. criminal intent is important in cases like these.
