What this is
An electoral cycle produces widespread kinetic violence — poll-station attacks, candidate assassinations, voter intimidation at scale, post-result riots. F-CT-8 τ-discharge at the election grain. Distinguished from mass-protest-wave by the election-anchored timing and the specific weaponization of the electoral process.
