False flag, as an excuse of going after MAGA "domestic terrorists" (more than their currently are, that is).

Some sort of other major distraction. Could be an otherwise completely unrelated narrative.

Or, as Chief Wahoo suggests, making scape goats of their lesser important people. Maybe a few bigger fish go down in their self-sacrificing.

Whatever it happens to be, it'll be relatively transparent, to those who are already awake, what these people are doing.
