The capitalists never forgot it. They didn't need to remember.

I agree with you IF these people are on a tight timeline. I am not sure that they are. They have 3 more years based on the political cycle. But, this could be a timeline driven by the midterms, which is reasonable.

It could also be a timeline driven by foreign actors, or by economic forces.

My sense, though, is that things are not as well coordinated as the Truman Show and instead they make plans for various things and execute them when the appropriate trigger arrives.

Honestly, it could be true that both a) they got Kirk killed and b) they were waiting for it to happen before acting. They have a vast network of decrentalized right wing peppers and could have easily seeded this action out to them and just waited until it happened.
