“The shooter visited California once, where they were radicalized by the violent left.”
“The shooter owned an iPhone, which is designed by Apple in California. The violent leftists are responsible.”
“Liberals, who constantly demonize conservative speech, are responsible!”
There need not be any actual ties to Los Angeles, Chicago, or DC. They can cut any narrative they like from whole cloth. Denying reality and substituting their own is the rightist way.
They can try. But declaring martial law nationally over one shooting is a huge escalation. The idea is to ramp up slowly. One city, one state. And trying to start that process in Utah isn’t going to work well. Utah has their own cult, which isn’t fully behind Trump. There’s a risk of a schism. The Mormons are heavily armed, historically militant, and have a desire to form their own nation.
