Violence Has a Side - America Needs to Stop Pretending It Doesn't

I totally agree with this guys post. We know it, but MAGA media are saying it's all the left, when it is Trump's stirring up his fringe. Stochastic terrorism is the use of mass media and public rhetoric to demonize a target group, inciting random, statistically predictable acts of political violence by individuals, while allowing the instigator to avoid culpability.

Trump again is making up history. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/04/viol...

Always at the ready to answer djt's every beck & call to do violence against his perceived enemies. Great vengeance and violence will come to those foolish enough to cross the Mafioso tough guy President.

His Fascist army is on constant stand by and readiness,... don't fuck with "The Donald" - only at your peril.
