So we should carry on with what we were doing and quickly identify this crap as crap and leave it where it landed.

That was pretty obvious. It was basically a ransomware demand, adapted to voting.

He did try to make himself the victim, however, even though those targeted were Dems.

It was intended to protect his proud boys and send a clear message to them that he will protect them. He fully expects them to go to bat for him after he loses the election.

It was intended to set the stage for him to say the election wasn't fair or just when he loses.
