Impact[edit]
Violent or intimidating rhetoric[edit]
Some have reported on a rise in threats and statements, including stochastic terrorism, around the world, such as anti-immigration sentiment in Europe and threats against politicians in the US.[1] There have been a more than doubling of concerning threats and statements against political figures from 2017 to 2021 in the United States, according to Capitol Police,[2] with a ten-fold increase observed between Trump taking office and 2022.[3] Sociologist Ramón Spaaij worries the increasing prevalence of violent and demonizing rhetoric in public discourse in the U.S. will lead to more political violence.[1]
Jurors and judges are a group that has drawn particular concern regarding their protection from stochastic terrorism.[4] Threats against the media and journalists, election workers and state electors have also been cited as stemming from violent or intimidating rhetoric.[5]
Violent plots and attacks[edit]
In the U.S., Seth Jones found that violent incidents have more than quadrupled between 2007 and 2017.[6] Kurt Braddock and Ellen Ioanes have seen much more of this rhetoric and incidents on the right in the U.S. than the left.[7] Rachel Kleinfeld estimates that right-wing protests are twice as likely as left-leaning protests to turn violent.[8]
