Trump campaign suggests questioning results and fear of violence increases

He even created a “community” on social media to allow “voters” to report what they might consider “fraud.” This Saturday (2), he also posted messages pointing out that “citizen journalism” was superior to journalism companies.

For Rita Katz, who heads the company SITE Intelligence Group, the risk of violence today is greater than in 2020. At that time, she warned about the possibility of attacks in Washington, which ended up happening on January 6th.

Now, in an interview with Politico, she warns that the threat is “much greater”. “Trump now has more social media platforms and other parts of Silicon Valley on his side. These are the people running the most profound social engineering tools humanity has ever seen — beyond the mainstream mainstream media,” he said.

According to her, part of Trump’s electorate “really thinks the election was stolen and that you can blame them because they didn’t protect the election.” “So they’re calling for a lot more violence. They think it’s all done by the Democrats, their enemy. And they have no reason to believe that this election is real, and therefore we’re seeing more calls for violence,” he warned.

“This time we see a very different social media ecosystem. Look at Twitter: it is now run by Elon Musk, who has turned it into a safe haven for the far-right community,” he said.

“I’m very, very terrified of what might happen when the winner is announced. If Harris wins, tens of millions of Americans will refuse to accept the result. And some percentage of those people will be willing to act, to commit violence in support of her belief, especially if Donald Trump gives the signal. And in the 2020 election, Trump gave the signal and I don’t see any reason why he won’t give the signal this time,” he added.
