        That’s actually a very likely explanation. Provoke a violent response, declare martial law, then kill everyone whose nose they don’t like. Kristallnacht.

          This is exactly why things are escalating. The entire country will be on fire before the midterms, which will then be cancelled.

      TL;DR - Noem’s statement that he was involved in a similar incident last year may have contributed to his identification

      God that article was fucking awful. Paragraph after paragraph of fluff just to pad out a single sentence worth of content

      Yeah. They release info that can be tied back to him, and someone searches the appraisal district records for a house under his name, and things get bad.

      Especially if he isn’t in appraisal district records (because he lives out of the county, or doesn’t own a home, or the house is under an LLC, etc), but someone else with the same name is in the records.
