All this over a guy who put too much fentanyl in his asshole
It was just the excuse. Just like how some idiot archduke shot by an autistic Serb triggered the first world war, the incident was simply the spark that set off a chain reaction that took decades to construct. In this case, the build up of a massive institutional beaurocracry and a yellow journalism media establishment that viewed itself as utterly indispensable to that system. To the point that they became integral to it, and advanced all the policies and agendas that drove a greater and greater wedge between the rural and working class portions of America and the coastal globally connected hubs. Wars have started for less.
The real tragedy is that its very clear now, that the institutional state and media establishment have realized what they have done. But like Wile E. Coyote, no matter how hard they blow they simply cannot extinguish the fuse they lit.
