the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective.
Are you saying that OpenAI is doing that? Or Anthropic? Or who are the technocrats you are referring to, and exactly what actions are they performing that are terrorism?

Comment on US Department of Justice arrests soldier who made $400,000 betting on Nicolás Maduro's removal in ~society

Sounds like a pardon is coming though.
Asked on Thursday what he thought about about Van Dyke's wagers, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, "That's like Pete Rose betting on his own team."
"Pete Rose, they kept him out of the Hall of Fame because he bet on his own team. Now, if he bet against his team, that would be no good, but he bet on his own team," Trump said. "I'll look into it."

However, Trump garnered a lot of votes — it wasn’t just disaffected democrats staying home.
The unfortunate fact is a lot of people were highly energized by the prospect of hurting immigrants, women, and trans people. That’s who a large part of America is now.

What could have been done differently? America wanted Trump.
One of the ways the Dems can win is by being a party of principles

Any action that even has the faintest chance of Trump being able to replace someone with a 40 year old should be considered very closely. As it is, those guys have managed to lose abortion rights for millions of women. Things are obviously going very poorly for immigrants. Trans rights are coming up on the docket soon.
And these are long lasting changes — odds are good statistically that Barrett will outlive me, as will probably any new Trump appointee.

Why should some other text input box that I type questions into have different rules?
And I guess another concern here is, I want the default state of things to be that if the government wants to see things I say, they should find their own probable cause and get a warrant. Companies shouldn't have a positive legal duty to report communications to the government.

- information about firearms
- how the country reacts to mass shootings
- when busy times are at school
It doesn’t sound like they are alleging that ChatGPT encouraged the shooting.
That sounds like every justification from a terrorist I’ve ever read. This violence is ok because it is just, unlike the other guys whose cause is unjust. This violence is ok because the perpetrator is weak and the victim is strong.
It sounds like you are arguing that it is inherently justified.
