The amount of times I see people around here calling a bunch of average Joe truckers "terrorists" is beyond stupid. Everyone is seeing radical right-wing boogeymen around every corner. Never stopping to think, perhaps they've been radicalized in the other direction. The numbers certainty make that case.

That isn't a scale of radicalization, that is just a lump sum of how many people fall in each ideology which fits given that democrats consistently get more votes than they do seats. I actually tried to google it and I can't find any scales or anything showing which side is more radical, but given that one side right now is almost entirely rejecting reality and replacing it with conspiracy theories it's difficult for me to understand when people try to assert the other side is radical.
They are being called terrorists because they are intentionally causing massive economic harm while holding a city hostage with threats of violence. But you knew that, because you've already been told multiple times.
