I am unironically concerned about the motives of his assassin. Every time we see something like this, I get this sinking feeling like we've just seen the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.
But then, we keep discovering that they're right-wing nutjobs, and so the people who are praying for a civil war have to gnash their teeth and pretend like they're not just looking for any reason to go on a killing spree.
Nothing would please me more than if it was some personal reason, like a jilted gay lover.
They've already decided what they want to do. The military has invaded our nations capitol and our second largest city, Trump is threatening Chicago too, and we're giving a quarter of a trillion dollars to ICE etc. They were already using that Ukrainian woman's death to push their racist narrative. They will find something regardless. They will happily manufacture a controversy from anything. See Cracker Barrel.
Totally agree. Either way, this will 1000000% be used to fan the flames. If it turns out to be a left wing woke nutjob or something they will obviously cream their pants in glee and just scream something along the lines of "see? The left is so horrible and so violent. Look at what they've done! We need to stop them now before it gets worse!" If it's a right wing idiot they'll just gloss over that and say "look how violent our cities our. There's criminals roaming the streets, we need to bring in the tanks to take our cities back!"
My money is on right wing accelerationist
