Armed, anti-government white folks who proudly display the flag of an enemy of the United States aren't domestic terrorists, but some street punks running around beating people up are? Go get you a copy of Merriam Webster's because you clearly don't understand the definition of terrorist. These idiots don't have a political goal. They're criminals....plain and simple.
This will not end well. These people are domestic terrorists.

Protestors are protesting. Looters are looting. Stop getting them confused.

Don't insult my intelligence. You know exactly who I'm referring to. We all do.
I'll say it again, slowly:
Street. Punks. Have. No. Political. Goals.
Therefore, by definition (which you posted but evidently did not read fully) they can't be terrorists.
Ha ha you just described those officers that kill George Floyd!If you’re still referring to the armed Michigan protesters then that is what you call them by opinion. Just like im calling these people that are causing chaos domestic terrorists.
And yes I did read that domestic terrorism is in fact “Under the 2001 USA Patriot Act, domestic terrorism is defined as "activities that (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the U.S. or of any state; (B) appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S." This definition is made for the purposes of authorizing law enforcement investigations. While international terrorism ("acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries") is a defined crime in federal law,[5] no federal criminal offense exists which is referred to as "domestic terrorism". Acts of domestic terrorism are charged under specific laws, such as killing federal agents or "attempting to use explosives to destroy a building in interstate commerce".[6]”
Do you need to see more links of the destruction they are causing?
There is a political aspect which has to be present for something to be accurately described as terrorism, see the definition which you kindly provided. The protests in Michigan were political in nature. The criminal acts you refer to were not. .If you’re still referring to the armed Michigan protesters then that is what you call them by opinion. Just like im calling these people that are causing chaos domestic terrorists.

May not be clear the Sedition Act was enacted in 1790 or something like that.So I'm a conspiracy guy Huh? The Sedition Act is the law that will allow Trump to send federal troops into the states to fire on American citizens. Read this:
The most controversial of the new laws permitting strong government control over individual actions was the Sedition Act. In essence, this Act prohibited public opposition to the government. Fines and imprisonment could be used against those who "write, print, utter, or publish . . . any false, scandalous and malicious writing" against the government. (like for example Joe Biden?)
Under the terms of this law over 20 Republican newspaper editors were arrested and some were imprisoned. The most dramatic victim of the law was Representative Matthew Lyon of Vermont. His letter that criticized President Adams' "unbounded thirst for ridiculous pomp, foolish adulation, and self avarice" caused him to be imprisoned. While Federalists sent Lyon to prison for his opinions, his constituents reelected him to Congress even from his jail cell.
The Sedition Act clearly violated individual protections under the first amendment of the Constitution; however, the practice of "judicial review," whereby the Supreme Court considers the constitutionality of laws was not yet well developed. Furthermore, the justices were all strong Federalists. As a result, Madison and Jefferson directed their opposition to the new laws to state legislatures. The Virginia and Kentucky legislatures passed resolutions declaring the federal laws invalid within their states. The bold challenge to the federal government offered by this strong states' rights position seemed to point toward imminent armed conflict within the United States.
