By every definition, it most certainly was. What needed to happen for it to have made it a terrorist attack in your eyes?
Granted, it was no 9/11 - I'll agree with that. But, I don't tell someone that just got rear ended that they weren't in a car accident. I also don't gatekeep car accidents just because I've seen much worse ones up close and personal... That's absurd.
There were multiple pipe bombs recovered for Christ sake... There are verified images of fatigue wearing protesters with bundles of zip ties and open admissions that they were, and I quote, "coming for the senators."
Does this look like a protester to you?

Where things get worse is, there are open postings on the internet that next time they're bringing firearms. Next time, they're killing police if they have to and suggesting that LE "take some vacation time." These people are willing to be martyrs for their cause, no different than a terrorist.
If cancel culture is preventing the above statements from making their way to this forum, then maybe some people need cancelled. I don't know if I totally agree with it or not but, that doesn't really matter - the target isn't on my back. It's on the forums and it's on
@Millard Baker's if posts go too far... We're all already posting on a drug forum on the open internet that he created in spite of the risk of doing so - I don't know if anyone really appreciates that fact either.
