Anti-government groups know that violence only strengthens the existing system. They are not interested in "terrorism" (e.g. the use of violence to instil terror). So the idea that those opposed to the corruption are "domestic terrorists" is pure propaganda.

They need to find legal gaps in order to combat domestic terrorists?
