CW: CW: queerphobia, hate speech, stochastic terrorism
There is a reason I take the endless stream of anti-queer slurs, lies and accusations seriously.
Stochastic terrorism is when people in positions of influence repeatedly spread hateful or dehumanising rhetoric about a group, creating an environment in which violence against members of that group becomes more likely - even if they never explicitly tell anyone to attack.
And yes, this can and does include state actors.
Calling queer people “groomers”, “predators”, “degenerates”, “child abusers”, or some other invented monstrosity is not merely “words”. When those accusations are repeated often enough, they manufacture a target. They tell the public who supposedly deserves suspicion, hatred and punishment.
Words become permission. Permission becomes action.
That is why “it was just a slur” is such a grotesquely inadequate defence. A lie repeated often enough can become a weapon. And when powerful people keep handing that weapon to an angry crowd, pretending not to know what might happen next is simply dishonest.
We should take the words seriously, because history has shown us what can follow when we don't.

#StochasticTerrorism ... ON OUR DIME.
The U.S. is going to need partisans soon, to make some of these fascists "find out" the way Nazi occupiers did in France and other European nations during WWII....

This is just LAYER UPON LAYER of massively inappropriate.
(1) A sitting president (2) who was civilly adjudicated a rapist and (3) HAS ALREADY HAD *THAT* judgment upheld by the Supreme Court, (4) is trying to pressure that court into a favorable ruling (5) IN HIS OWN CASE, (6) when he has an established track record of calling down #StochasticTerrorism on officials who refuse to do his bidding.

URGENT!
⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️If anybody still has a Twitter account, could you please go and report all of this racist, stochastic terrorist nonsense.
This is one of Caryma Sa'd's henchmen, trying to do her a solid by having me harmed by the police.
She has only recently/temporarily given up her own efforts in that direction.

...you'll also note Romanian Gypsies aren't 'White enough' for Ireland, consider the irony there.

Travelers cite presidential rhetoric & policies manifesting in highly public #wars — both figurative & literal — as reasons for staying away.

This is stochastic terrorism. The penalty for treason is death. Trump is hoping one of his cult members will get violent.
"Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."
