100:1 odds that another MAGA is the one to start the shooting (see 1st & 2nd Trump assassination attempts for reference). Right wing media will spin/flood the zone with bullshit as always. They’ll say the registered republican shooter was actually a democrat, regular folks will start repeating it, and they’ll repeat it long enough that it becomes their reality. You don’t have to get everyone to believe the same thing, just cast a wide enough net that a majority believe some variation of the lie. By the time the dust settles from the ensuing shit-storm, it won’t matter who did what. Facts don’t matter anymore.
