That sounds like a situation hoped for so a heavy hammer can come down.

No, they just made an obvious statement. Look up the definition of terrorism. The political aims part of it is what makes it terrorism as opposed to say a nutjob going on a shooting spree because they are a nut job. COVID restrictions is one of those political things people are passionate about as opposed to say jaywalking. It's highly unlikely that anyone is going to go Jihad on jaywalking laws. Nobody cares that much about them. BLM stuff, COVID maybe.
There's some of that here, more around Trump losing the election. There was the Superman guy, not the exact username can't remember it, who was making a half dozen raving posts a day claiming he was part of a sleeper cell that was going to be activated to overthrow the government. Conservatively speaking 99 percent of this is just keyboard warriors. The most violent thing they are going to do is scare their mother when they bang a plate in anger while microwaving their bagel bites. DHS though it's their job to consider that fraction that might do more than bang on their keyboard and scare their mother.
