    I disagree. It’s critical for them to escalate right now in order to misdirect from their game plan. They see her as a useful tool. Once they provoke violent conflict, they’ll have the excuse they need to escalate further, cancel elections, etc…

    She is a useful means to their ends.

      Given how they just make up bullshit justifications for the violence they carry out, it’s increasingly obvious that they don’t need to be given a reason to do these horrible things.

        So, by moving slower and not going whole hog all at once, they’re going to have more allies. It’s tactical.
