Wow, this is how the GOP is framing the crisis with domestic-terrorist militia groups in Oregon right now.https://twitter.com/Oregon_GOP/status/1142619631095439360 …

Should also note that, in true Trumpism fashion, the pic they are using is not from this week and those people are not the militias they are talking about. This is an old picture from a timber industry protest.

What’s the actual crisis? Can’t help but think that if minority Dem legislators in a Southern state refused to provide quorum for a vote on a draconian abortion bill and the R governor sent the state police to arrest them, all the sympathies would do a 180

All the stuff about skipping the state has been done (Wisconsin in the last decade, Texas the decade before that). The militia angle is new though.

My point holds though. The other sides militants are always terrorists

That is ignorant, absurd hand-waiving. People may call, say, the Women's March or the Tea Party movement "terrorists" but that's moronic hyperbole. Groups with history of calls for political violence are different. OR3%ers are not the Young Republicans. Trust me.
