Is the argument that since "terrorist" was a conservative buzzword to justify racial and cultural profiling post-9/11, it's unusual to see it being used in such a fervour by liberal-types only 20 years after 9/11? Is there an attempt to "gotcha" liberals over the use of the word "terrorist"?

Because A) 9/11 was 20 years ago now, and people have put work into separating the term "terrorist" from the term "Muslim" since then, and B) the riot at Capitol Hill was an instance of domestic terrorism, making the people who perpetuated that violence terrorists.

Further question: is the consternation over the current use of "terrorist" rooted in the fear that people who fit the profile of the Capitol Hill insurrectionists will be targeted the same way Muslims were post-9/11?
