14. Weaponized Outrage, Interrupted by Reality

Almost feels like this was the gunman’s plan: commit a horrific act, then let the right point fingers at “the left” for it. Chaos and outrage, weaponized before the facts even landed. If his own father hadn’t come forward, MAGA would still be spinning it as a leftist crime. The tragic reality? The violence didn’t spring from some liberal fantasy, t came from inside their own MAGA ranks.
