4. Dangerous stochastic terrorist

As Olbermann points out, DT is a stochastic terrorist.

I wish that more of our leaders pointed out that he is not only declaring war on our constitutional democracy's norms and processes, he is a stochastic terrorist. The definition of this term, and its applicability to DT, need to be firmly planted in the public mind.

stochastic terrorism [stuh-kas-tik ter-uh-riz-uh m] -noun- 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.


As long as DT fanatics cling to the notion that he CAN overturn the election, they are likely to stay on the sidelines. But when all avenues are closed -- e.g., on Jan 6th, when their last ditch efforts to object to and toss out Biden electors fail -- I fear the rage he and the right-wingnut noise machine have fomented will erupt. With something like 50,000 people firmly believing they are witnessing a Biden "coup," you can be there is an extremely HIGH statistical probability that at a few in that number are motivated and capable of terrorist acts.
