It's easy enough to predict that, pretty much regardless of the death toll, this event won't hand the same sort of sword to anti-progressives that James Alex Fields's attack handed to progressives. Or, rather: even if it did, they wouldn't use it as brutally and relentlessly. And Biden--though plausibly partially responsible--won't suffer anything like the political consequences Trump suffered as a result of his (true, post-facto) comments about Charlottesville.
Such speculation is unseemly at a time like this, and I may well regret engaging in it.
Needless to say, we all hope for the best for the survivors.
