The comedian Patton Oswalt said it best, and I'm only paraphrasing: The protections of being a totally loathsome and reprehensible person in society extend ONLY to Donald Trump. You can lay down your life for a disgusting neo-Nazi cause, but you do it on your own. That's why they call it stochastic terrorism: Trump hopes you will just go and do terrible things on his behalf, because he's the giant coward of the galaxy, and he will hide behind your skirt while YOU go out to kill the children.
