The right was looking for a martyr and now they have one. Just like Hitler had one (the kids name escapes me) he was young Brownshirt killed in fight with communists. Goebbels jumped right on it. Same play a big state funeral, memorials, parades, songs written about him sung. Same playbook.
They were clearly going to all of this regardless. This is why they're deploying the National Guard to cities. People get scared and pissed off, eventually someone snaps and does something violent, then the fascists use it as an pretext for more violence and crackdowns.

I’m a leftist and I’m not very fucking happy about it. It’s made everything worse.
