Kentucky, pay attention: When a pastor tied to Pentagon leadership prays for a Senate candidate’s “death,” it fuels stochastic violence—no direct threat, but real danger. Our democracy depends on calling this out. ✊🇺🇸 #KYPolitics #ProtectDemocracy #EndTheHate #StochasticViolence
“When the sitting president of the United States publicly states that lawmakers should be punished by death for asserting that the military must follow the Constitution, this is not something that should be swept under the rug. I often hear people claim they want the violence and partisanship in the United States to calm down. Yet, when it matters most, they refuse to call out this president’s words and actions, or they downplay them by dismissing them as “out of context” or claiming he shouldn’t be taken so seriously. As someone who has studied social phenomena, I want to draw your attention to a concept known as stochastic violence. Stochastic violence can be sparked by the rhetoric of public figures. When certain leaders or public figures use inflammatory or violent language, it may not directly incite violence, but it creates an environment where violence becomes more likely, or “randomly” occurs at the hands of individuals influenced by that rhetoric. Words are not just words. They have power. The current president is dangerous because his rhetoric incites violence. Let me remind you: the worst mass murderers in history never killed anyone directly. It was through their policies and their words that led to horrific bloodshed.”

I love exposing MAGA's double standards, hypocrisy, and bullshit. These people are guilty of everything they accuse you of. Here, we see a clear-cut example of inciting political violence.
