Son of a Mormon preacher police officer from Utah who's into guns and dressed up as Trump for Halloween one year. Yesterday it was "THE LIBERALS ARE KILLING US" and today will be silence and then the liberals will still somehow get the blame.

All the have to do is fill the information vacuum with misinformation early. The MAGA base only needs that much and right wing sources don't issue corrections. After that, no new cognitively dissonant facts can dislodge the narrative.
