So you didn't at all understand what I said then

Everyone who stormed the capitol fits the bill of a terrorist. I said that in my post that you quoted.

There is a difference between someone actually being a terrorist and people eagerly or hesitantly calling someone a terrorist.

The point was that the term terrorist stopped being thrown around so eagerly, because it became way too obvious of a racist dog whistle for "I think very little of Muslims."

What you're referring to is people calling anyone who is a Muslim a terrorist just because of the way they look or dress. That has nothing to do with what's going on in this topic.

• The people who flew planes into the buildings on 9/11 are terrorists because they committed terroristic acts.
• The people who stormed the capitol are terrorists because they committed terroristic acts.

Calling someone a terrorist because they speak Arabic or dress in traditional Muslim clothing is a racist dog whistle. You're trying to conflate two different things and you know that.
