There are obvious answers such as he's just trying to destabilize the country or is trying to distract everyone from something else.

However, I don't think those are the goals...or at least it's not the whole story.

This ordeal could cause a split between normal leftists/democrats and these marxists. The marxists are going to become the new "left" and the current left will be forced to move right. This results in the current right/republicans being easily shut out for being extremist right. Which means the battle moves from republicans vs democrats to democrats vs marxists. The arguments shift from "keeping guns vs banning guns" to "confiscating guns vs go to jail for thinking about guns".

There are still a few variables. How many current rightists will fight to stay right, how many democrats will stay left, and how many will transition to this new marxist party?

As a self aware conspiracy theorist...hopefully I'm over thinking things lol
