Yes, really. And your memory is obviously very faulty, because there were indeed terrorist attacks across the nation after Bush won in 2000. Naturally the anti-American leftist media likes to call illegal acts of violence and destruction "protests" but they are in fact terrorist acts by leftist criminals.
In absolutely every election that Democrats lose, without exception, they become mentally unhinged and resort to violence and destruction. They have been doing this since they lost the Civil War they started 159 years ago. Even becoming violent prior to the election, like they are now. Like during the New Orleans massacre in July 1866, when Democrats killed 38 and wounded 146 Republicans, with 34 of the dead and 119 of the wounded being black Republicans.
The Democratic Party has more than a century of history that proves beyond any doubt that it is a terrorist organization. Even after the 09/11/2001 terrorist attacks, which Democrats fully supported, the Democrats continue to riot against Bush43. Supporting the terrorist filth, like they always have.
