    It’s reasonable to expect that the conservatives have expected a significant shooting of a right-wing figure was inevitable in the US, and had strategies discussed beforehand to capitalise on the occasion. No need for tinfoil hats.

      No strategies even necessary, they are all on board with the fanaticism. They don’t even need martyrs, they demonize the left constantly, it’s like with narcissists- they accuse you of shit constantly and feverishly, and the one time you actually do happen to be guilty of something that is judgment day and proof of everything else they made up about you.

      It’s how witch processes go, it’s how holocausts go, it’s how fascism always goes.
