The projection and gaslighting never stop, merely intensify
Remind me, what is the divorce rate in America?
It appears she’s trying to paint MAGAns with the stain of a dozen wacko assassins.
They slam “MAGAS” while supporting them in primaries. It’s all coordinated.
Prolife organizations have been on the receiving end of threats and violence. Numerous arsons have resulted in zero arrests. Doesn’t even sound like there is any intention of looking for the perps.
This administration is full of the worst hypocrisy.
Kamala Harris - “This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop. And everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. And that should be — everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not.”
What does stochastic terrorism mean?
Stochastic terrorism is “the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted.”
The word stochastic, in everyday language, means “random.” Terrorism, here, refers to “violence motivated by ideology.”
Here’s the idea behind stochastic terrorism:
- A leader or organization uses rhetoric in the mass media against a group of people.
- This rhetoric, while hostile or hateful, doesn’t explicitly tell someone to carry out an act of violence against that group, but a person, feeling threatened, is motivated to do so as a result.
- That individual act of political violence can’t be predicted as such, but that violence will happen is much more probable thanks to the rhetoric.
- This rhetoric is thus called stochastic terrorism because of the way it incites random violence.
MAGA Republican is my new favorite pronoun!
