The intended violence I specifically referenced in the OP is clearly right-wing. Anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-Muslim, and pro-nationalism are undeniably conservative American right wing ideologies. You know that.
You're a libertarian, so while you may not like abortion, you're probably okay with the government minding it's own business on that topic. You also probably have no problem with the government getting out of the marriage business, which means private lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender marriages are coo with youl. You are a strong proponent of the Constitution, so you're certainly cool with Muslims going about their lives worshiping Allah and reading the Qur'an. You're a nationalist, of course, but I don't think you're an American (read: white, Christian American) exceptionalist like the attempted terrorist in the OP. In short, you should be on my side in this. Donny Eugene Mower has clearly thrown in his lot with the neoconservative authoritarians. He doesn't understand or accept religious freedom, he does not understand or accept a woman's or lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender's right to privacy.
If you want to regale me with tales of recent right-wingers who were justified in their acts of violence or attempted violence, I'd be glad to discuss the merits of those situations, but this thread is about Donny Eugene Mower, who is just the latest in a long string of authoritarian neoconservative bigoted terrorists and attempted terrorists.
