Summary
Even when a shooter acts alone, their ideology is often shared. The myth of the ‘Lone Wolf’ shooter. Republican Caucus chairwoman Elise Stefanik’s and many other Republicans pushed 'Replacement Theory' that inspired the Buffalo shooter. Why democracy's relentless enemies always try to destroy trust first. The crisis with the Supreme Court; the racist mass shooter in Buffalo; Republican primary candidates trying to one-up each other on how they will refuse to count all the ballots in the 2024 election; and our hitting 1 million deaths from Covid all derive from the same thing: the destruction of trust.
