I don't think it's possible to undersell exactly what just happened. A handsome, white, upper-middle class man from the Midwest, with an ivy league education and chronic debilitating pain just, without help from anyone else, 3D printed a ghost gun and a silencer at home and used it to execute a wall street CEO.

This murder completely robbed MAGA of all their previous excuses. This wasn't feminism. It wasn't immigrants. It wasn't brown or black people. It wasn't a trans person. It wasn't a left coast elitist. It wasn't mental illness. It wasn't a blue-haired leftist. It wasn't Marxism. It wasn't communism.

This was the consequence of two previously unrelated right wing mechanisms suddenly coming together: the Venn diagram of unregulated healthcare and unregulated guns. This is the MAGA deregulation machine attacking itself. And they are completely unprepared for it.
