it was not aimed at you

It was aimed at those who want to label anyone who is not a reichwinger a "terrorist"

They thought it was "okay" that Rittenhouse brought an AK47 to a protest, so long as he was killing "lefties"

but ... if you turn that on its head and a "leftie" brings a gun ... "they" (the leftie) is a terrorist

sorry if I wasn't clear
