I wrote about Alex Pretti's death, asking a specific question: What is the point? ms.now/opinion/minneapolis-sho…
The real reason Trump and MAGA are so quick to blame Minneapolis shooting victims
Alex Pretti and Renee Good were immediately vilified — and their killings at the hands of the state justified — by the Trump administration and its supporters.Philip Bump (MS NOW)

in reply to Philip Bump • • •I don’t think “failure to be pliant” or a lust for killing MAGA enemies is the main point.
I think they believe that winning the midterms is an existential necessity and will do practically anything to accomplish that.
I think they need to disenfranchise enough Blue cities and states so they can “win”.
One aspect: keep increasing brutality to get some response they can spin to impose a version of martial law and disrupt elections.
