In 1984 people were already spamming the word "terrorism" on everything?

That wasn't a terror attack. No one was terrorised or threatened. The crime was voter suppression by physically preventing people from accessing the polls.



U.S. Code Title 22 Chapter 38, Section 2656f(d) defines terrorism as: "Premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents".

Actual terror is not included in many definitions of terrorism.


This comment is surreal given what happened the last 3 years.
