The Persistent Push to Depict Luigi Mangione and His Supporters as Terrorists

Trump calls them extremists. Mainstream media casts them as unhinged. We saw something else at a protest for Luigi Mangione.

So someone who kills one very corrupt person who was responsible for the deaths of thousands is a terrorist, but people who promote the kind of hatred that leads to the deaths of thousands of minorities isn't? lol whatever you say
Unhinged my ass. Have you seen trump speak for more than 30 seconds? Now THAT is unhinged extremism.
- Have you seen trump speak ~~for more than 30 seconds~~ ever?
  FTFY
- "I knew I was in trouble when he unhinged his ass... This was no common snake, it was the elusive Great Northern Head Lodger"
  Sorry I've been on a Far Side binge this morning
They keep using that word "Terrorist." In 2001 my dad told me that "terrorist" is going to be used to describe anyone who dissents. I learned what dissent meant in 5th grade.
"Terrorist," "Anarchist," "Communist," "Negro," "Redskin," "Witch." Arguably it's not anyone who dissents, it's anyone who has a difference from the Puritanical point of view.
We're extremists because we resist those who claim authority. Authoritarians are a disease that afflicted society, and will kill us all if we let it.
- First time I've seen witch tossed in the same sentence like that, but I love and approve it.
  
  I'm a clever wordsmith when I have the inspiration to be.
There is one group intending to cause terror. in the United States.
Luigi Mangione ain't in that group.
You can't smear Saint Luigi.
- He is just so fucking goddamn hot omg

Previous protests for Mangione had also attracted health reform activists like Physicians for a National Health Program, which advocates single-payer health care. But no one from the group had come out that day. Members had been previously split about whether to attend the demonstrations. “Many of our members were really against it,” one PNHP activist told Courthouse News Service earlier this year, emphasizing that they did not condone Mangione’s actions...

- Yep. And they are wasting an opportunity to say incidents like these are more effectively and cost-effectively prevented with universal comprehensive health.
