Internal documents obtained by AFL show the board characterizing “supporters of the former president” as constituting “most of the Domestic Terrorism threat” in the United States. The documents also classified traits such as having served “in the military” and being “religious” as “indicators of extremists and terrorism,” citing unnamed research. It is not shocking to me.

It's not really shocking to anyone, but probably for different reasons.

This report wasn't some opinion piece. It was a finding of fact by a government agency. Also, the finding was that most domestic terrorist activities are perpetrated by people who support convicted felon Trump. NOT that most supporters of convicted felon Trump are domestic terrorists. That that distinction is lost in your OP is telling.

It was not a finding of fact. There were trying to figure ways to get into the community, and were talking about doing it under the guise of "health" as can be seen below:

Disturbingly, the meeting notes go on to discuss reclassifying political dissent as a “public health” crisis.

The very next speaker proposed another solution: reclassify “concerning” behavior into the “public health catcher’s mitt” so that " "mother and teacher“ feel comfortable coming forward.

Part of nearly everyone’s Federal oath of office includes the phrase, “against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. If we don’t know whom that might be, we should find out as soon as is practicable, otherwise why make people take such an oath?
