That's another thing, they make blatantly unlawful and unconstitutional (at a federal level) legislature at the local and state levels, and let it be fought over in courts, with the hope it makes it to the supreme court and maybe becomes legal. While they argue and fight over it, it impacts real people.
Ergo, unlawful violence (arrests) and intimidation (suppression of rights) against civilians, for political aims
Lawful is always going to be defined by whether the state likes you or not.
Whether the state likes you is the difference between freedom fighter and terrorist.
It's better to accept this and understand that using intimidation and violence, including state violence to suppress reactionaries is good, while using intimidation and violence to suppress the left is bad than to play games with what is and isn't terrorism.
