    It’s out of a need/desire to “fix” what they see is wrong with society. They are angry that the world isn’t what they want it to be and will do whatever it takes, violence included, to bring us back to their version of what makes a good society.

    They have been brainwashed by Fox News and other alt-right pundits. But before you feel bad for them, remember that they were racists before and Fox News, et al, just radicalized them into terrorism.

    Why we haven’t labeled Fox News as a terrorist group yet is beyond me.

      Ok, and how does an attack on the energy grid bring us back to their version of what makes a good society?

        “If I can’t have nice things, then no one can.”

        Or

        “We’re going to force everyone to live the way I want. We’ll start over if we have to.”
