Speculation? Not really. It is beyond reasonable conjecture as a motivation for the mob orchestration at this point.
And the much more important findings around the fake elector plot are very concrete. Arguing the burden of proof on motivation for the mob orchestration is a distraction.
The mob was showy and got a lot of attention, sure. But everything happening in the background has been proven beyond any doubt by now. And it was _much_ more important.
This proof is not dependent on the mob attack having occurred.
The facts would be the same if the mob attack had never happened.
Ignore the mob attack entirely, regardless of motivation or spontaneity, and it doesn't change anything.
Look, I guess it's going to be another one of those years.
Our brains put these bias filters in place for their own protection. But they're horribly exploited. They're going to keep getting exploited, and we'll keep seeing attempts to build on gains from past exploitation. It's really hard, but try to work past it.
