January 6th.

There are also terrorist acts perpetrated (like molotove cocktail bombing of Dem campaign offices) or prevented (like that U-haul full of men planning to attack an LGBTQ event and all the armed Proud Boys terrorising LGBTQ family events to deliberately terrify children). We need to stop ignoring that these people believe they are waging a war against us. Moreover, we MUST stop deluding ourselves that they are just some crazy fringe – January 6th should have put that delusion to rest.

I think everyone would agree that the fighters of the Confederacy were enemy combatants. These people are little different.

"Enemy combatant is a person who, either lawfully or unlawfully, engages in hostilities for the other side in an armed conflict." [Wikipedia]
