A man in the US state of New Mexico has pleaded guilty to helping a defeated Republican candidate carry out drive-by shootings at the home of Democrats.

The defendant, Demetrio Trujillo, says the candidate, Solomon Peña, hired him after failing to win a seat in the state legislature in November 2022.

Over the following weeks, the residences of several Democratic officials were attacked in Albuquerque.

You're not saying anything about Republicans that they aren't bragging about. Don't forget that this was the actual CPAC 2022 motto:

CPAC stage with a "We are all domestic terrorists" banner over it. (Not photoshopped)

Fact check, just because I had never seen this and it's bananas... The image is real, but it was the title of talk or some nonsense. They're being "tongue in cheek" but also are they?

In fairness they didn't view it as open admittance; rather they thought the idea was so absurd and ridiculous that they're mocking the very notion.

Unfortunately for us all though, it's simply the truth.

If you're mocking the fact that you're being called Domestic Terrorists by embracing it, then you clearly don't mind being called a domestic terrorist.

And there's effectively no difference in how you should treat someone who embraces being called a domestic terrorist and one who's acted on being one.
