I believe they are doing this to cause violent uprisings. .

They want to be able to declare a state of emergency, call in the military, lock democratically controlled states down, and declare martial law. They will try to use it as an excuse to suppress elections and consolidate power. This is as random as the slit floor in a Vegas casino. It’s planned, scripted, and getting the results they want.

He is more than macheavellian enough to do it. He would take pleasure in it.
He grew up in an upper middle class Jewish family in Cali. Educated, and not the Mississippi kind of educated. He graduated from Duke University - not a slouch school - where from the sound of it, he was just as hated as he was in every other school he ever attended.
Dude is straight up a reincarnated nazi. Evil, happy to be that way, and looking for revenge on his enemies.

First they want to bankrupt Americans then they want to kill us. It's been clear for over a year now.

They are destroying the USA for many reasons. First of all they hate America. Since tRump is dying and he is a greedy, vengeful, sadistic psychopath who plans on destroying the USA. He is dying and he plans on taking the country down with him.

In his mind (if he even had a mind) he blames Americans for doing this to HIM! How dare they?!? Mr Narcissist believes that none of his criminal BS is due to him and his actions.

I think the murder of Alex Pretti is backfiring on them. It's exposing their lies completely. Alex is White, and practically a saint. And Minneapolis is showing how to resist.

Like the LA riots that followed King's beating. They probably even invoked King's name in their planning.

They'll do it
And make excuses after
They don't need a legit reason or even a close facsimile
They do things then say words
Then do more things

Never witnessed a time like we in America are facing today. Judges make decisions, then their hands are tied. If they could, i know they would reinforce their orders, BUT Like i've stated before there is no answer for them in today's federal government control.

against the current regime, so they have an excuse to declare martial law, to galvanize them
