gunners (promise to set their families up for life, say) to mass shoot, which gives him "cause" for deploying troops into battlegrounds -- to "protect his beautiful christians ... Nice church ya got here, too bad if somethin' happened to it."
This protection racket strategy will be enacted in every battleground state over the next 14 months.
Keep christians from voting, keep the rest of the state intimidated to stay away from election polls so as to shut down a high turnout that current polls show could happen (e.g., the Iowa special election).

Must be a white male shooter, therefore no problem at all. Anyone else and the 82nd airborne would be parachuting in.
