"We will cause you pain and/or murder your people, until we get what we want" is pretty much the Republican platform domestically and internationally. Tariffs, boat murders, mass layoffs, program defending, billion dollar lawsuits etc, mass disappearances, detention camps and on and on.
Basically every CR showdown involves Republicans threatening to kill Americans if Democrats don’t give them what they want. That’s really just actual terrorism

This isn’t about mass street protests, necessarily. Those aren’t safe now, not when they’ve got the army on their side. No pink hats, kids.
