Is Trump a stochastic terrorist? By the very definition of the term, that answer is a resounding YES. But what can be done about it, especially now that he is facing four criminal cases? thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p

@georgetakei Nothing, legally, since "stochastic terrorism" isn't a crime.

The only real consequence for that is not voting for him.

@LouisIngenthron
According to the article, a condition of his release bond is a limit on what he can say, which he himself agreed to. So, at this point, there actually is a legal restriction on what he can say.

@TheDefiant604 @georgetakei Yes, individuals can choose to sign their rights away. But even then, violating that agreement is not a crime and would, at worst (afaik), get him contempt of court or a revocation of bond leading to him being held in jail until trial.

More importantly, though, the restrictions imposed by the court are, by necessity, narrowly tailored to achieve a specific goal. They don't stop him from holding rallies or lying.
