3. America's run by people of a terrorist persuasion

Predator Drones, wars of empire, CIA, Special Ops, black sites for our neighbors and in our neighbors borders...

and then within the borders: holding camps, urban renewal by refusing disaster relief, cutting the safety net to shreds, police surveillance and harassment and profiling, destroying the Bill of Rights, Constitution, and Rule of Law (anyone seen habeas corpus lately?) concealed carry, etc.

Calling the individuals on the street "terrorists" is merely a "projection" of the psychological protective mechanism by people who are abusing power, know they are, feel a tiny bit conflicted about it, but refuse to stick to any moral principles.

By the way, so is labelling 80% of the population "useless eaters", welfare queens, lazy and ignorant, etc. by the 1% parasite class, which has been stealing the fruits of Labor for over 30 years now (all of my adult life!)
