These kinds of events are helpful for us in determining enemies, patronage networks, and where loyalties lie, not in electoral politics. At a base level, Dems and their voters understand organic politics: the politics of loyalty. Being loyal gets your state and constituents rewards. Disloyalty gets you publicly humiliated through “cancel culture”. The voters instinctually understand how the game is played, even if they don’t recognize it intellectually. Treason is worse than death and poverty.
For the Christian, death is the finish line (Acts 20:24), and all our troubles here are building up our eternal souls to an eternal weight of glory (2 Cor 4:16-18), all working to our good (Rom 8:28).
With Christ rising from the dead, He's defeated death where we can run towards it with joy rather than fear (Heb 2:14-15, as this place isn't our portion, the LORD Himself is for all eternity (Psalm 16:5-6, Psalm 17:13-15 Psalm 73:25-26, Lam 3:22-26).
The Bible is the only place the truth and hope is found, those who don't find the treasure in the field (Matt 13:44-46) will perish with this place, as it's always been doomed since the fall.
I find it less suspicious than many that the Maui County Chief of Police is from Las Vegas and was there when the shootings took place because Las Vegas enjoys a close relationship with Hawaii and is often referred to as the ninth island of Hawaii.

Sad. True. We're doomed, I fear.

“Well sure my guys are incompetent hacks whose stupidity gets children killed, but at least they’re not NAZIS!”
It’s not a meme, it’s an iron law.
