Either that argument is too hard to make, or the Authoritarianism that has obviously taken hold of the right has also taken hold of the left as well.

I can make that argument easily: the Orlando shooting, labeled as terrorism.

In which case I would expect you object to labeling crimes as terrorism, and rather prosecute them under the normal statutes, say, first-degree murder.
