Schrodinger's traitor
A government leader, often a demagogue, who regularly incites traitorous acts, insurrection, and overrule of government law without evidence from their followers. When those acts are carried out to their logical conclusions by those followers, a Shrodinger's traitor expresses (sometimes for the first time) their (often faint) disapproval.
The leader incited insurrection by their followers and they followed his call. When called out, like a Schrodinger's traitor, he backpedaled, lightly disapproved of their actions, and took no responsibility at all.
