(3,416 posts)31. Trump is a stochastic terrorist!
Stochastic terrorism:
is a form of political violence instigated by (trumps) hostile public rhetoric that he directs at a group or an individual.
Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished with indirect, vague or coded language, which grants the instigator (trump) plausible deniability for any associated violence.
A key element of stochastic terrorism is the use of media by (trump) for propagation, where the person carrying out the violence (a member of the maga cult) may not have direct connection to the user (trump) of the violent rhetoric.
