    Dictionary.com - terrorism: “the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.” I think that’s very fitting, hopefully the law will as well.

      Yeah but that definition only applies to people who are brown or poor.

      In this case, they are all lone wolves. All of them.

    Reminder: All MAGA fans support the use of threats and violence. They either directly do this shit, or they tolerate it, which keeps it happening. Every. Single. One.

    I’m curious about the real numbers - 600% is a serious increase, but going from 0 to 6 per day isn’t anywhere as bad as going from 10 to 60 per day. Also a graphed out over time to see if this is a trend or anomaly in the data.

    Also how can the government have access (one way or another) to all of our private data - including texts, calls, and browser histories - but can’t catch idiot lunatics who legitimately (not hyperbolicly) threaten violence? Oh right… That would cost them money they’d rather spend not helping people.

    Stupid people making threats against public officials, I hope they get a visit from a couple of FBI agents to take them for an appointment with a judge.

    Stupid article, 600 percent sensationalism… 1 to 6… 10 to 60… 33 to 198… what?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
