If only there was a term they could use referencing the use and threat of violence in order to achieve political gains. It feels like that’s a word that should exist already, and that Republicans should all be considered the domestic version of whatever kind of person would do that.
For anyone wondering, Snopes says it was real in 2022. Perhaps a “joke”, but not a wise one.
That’s just the Trump excuse. Everything atrocious that is said that gets pushback is a joke.
“He tells it like it is!”
“Come on, he’s obviously just joking!”
Pretty much. He “tells it like it is” when they agree with him and it’s a joke when they don’t. Reality is fungible for them.
If someone tells you who they are, believe them.
I know the term you are looking for, but probably the shooters are white Christian nationalists.
Which means they are definitely not political terrorists who are terrorizing .
But I could be wrong and these are terrorists. Who knows? Perhaps one is mixed race or stepped into a mosque within the last 20 years. Let’s keep an open mind

wtf? Why christians wouldn’t be considered terrorists?
I reckon it’s supposed to be sarcasm, that since they are white Christians they can’t be terrorists, unless they are “mixed” race or have been in a Mosque
I’ve re-read the last paragraph. I’m quite slow, it’s 100% sarcasm.
It got me the first time too. That’s how you know it’s great sarcasm!
MAGA is a terrorist organization.
The GOP is a terrorist organization.
They’re saying the quiet parts out loud and there’s no turning back
potato potato
I could really go for some potatos right now im fucken hungry.
Republicans really hate democracy.
They are a Communist grass roots terrorist group. We should treat them as so.
Lemmy.world political literacy: “Anything I don’t like is Communism”
Should have stayed open. You’re letting those fucking terrorists win

Hmm…
Stochastic terrorism?
Stochastic Terrorism means advocates for but does not personally commit it. There have been shootings, that isn’t stochastic.
The stochastic terrorism happened before the shootings. Both forms of violence need to be stopped.
Nope, just plain ole terrorism.
"Arizona Democrats closed their field office in Tempe, Ariz. after three shooting incidents. The office served as a base for the Sun State’s congressional campaigns and Vice President Harris’s presidential effort in recent weeks.
"The Tempe Police Department said the latest incidents on Oct. 6 involved gun shots fired at the Democratic campaign office at around 12:30 a.m. They said no one was inside the building. Officers are now looking for a silver Toyota Highlander with an unknown plate, which was seen on the premises. "
Officers are now looking for a silver Toyota Highlander…
Good news, that narrows down the field significantly. There can be only one.
Too bad we can’t gild people here, because this deserves it.
Clever.
This is a good thing. The constitution in intentionally design to preserve entrenched power. It’s why we’re the most powerful country in the world.
This is the dumbest shit I’ve read all week. If you want to talk about entrenched power, then look no further than The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society as well as their billionaire donors. No one is taking shots at them, of course.
Yes obviously not. Democrats are controlled opposition anyway intended to grind down any really social movements into the graveyard of democracy. Preserving capitalism. Which is a good thing.
