What would it really change for the better?
People like Dylan Roof are still going to spend life in jail without parole, or the death penalty. Regardless if it's called murder or terrorism.
Meanwhile on the negative side, the media is going to push terrorism on every single conservative-related crime. Just like the vast majority of conservative voters are called racists and white supremacists already, just because of who they voted for and nothing else.
Are BLM and Antifa also going to be labled as domestic terrorists? What about the conservationists who blow up mining equipment or pipelines? Terrorists? Because they've been called "protesters" even when attacking police and burning down buildings. Then you have to worry... what happens when legitimate protesters start getting charged with terrorism simply because someone doesn't like their message? Will everyone who doesn't agree with the main thinking suddenly become terrorists? Or will it just be treated like "hate crimes" are, aka... unless you're live streaming a torture session of a white person because they're white, you won't be charged with them, and even then it takes like 48 hours to decide to do so.
Not to mention that then you're going to end up with thousands of US citizens being held in prison by federal authorities for suspicion of domestic terrorism. Do they get treated the same as we treat terrorists? Are we just going to have US citizens start vanishing into government blacksites?
Very very very little good with come from ever allowing the government to start slapping domestic terrorism charges on it's citizens. It's right up there with allowing the government to operate armed drones in US airspace for law enforcement purposes.
