The Republican Party needs to be labeled a fascist terrorist organization by the FBI.

I take the adress it to mean that they have an obligation to point out that the Republican party has a hell of a lot of facists in their ranks.

The OP would like to see the FBI/DOJ addressing what the Republican party has become. Not making a new crime law. Domestic terrorism is already a Federal crime. The Republican party has become a racially/ethnically motivated extremists group. It's only a matter of time before they become violent.

A person engages in domestic terrorism if they do an act "dangerous to human life" that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to: (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping

Personally I believe the states and Republicans going after a women's right to a safe and legal abortion and the anti transgender laws they are passing are acts "dangerous to human life".

Strictly my opinion.
