“It perhaps also unlocks a permission structure to vote for Trump among a certain type of voter. Elon Musk and Bill Ackman officially endorsed Trump in the wake of the shooting, for instance. I don’t think this is a particularly important development on its own, not least because Musk and Ackman were pretty obviously in the Trump camp to begin with (even if they hadn’t admitted it publicly, or even to themselves). But those Americans in the pox-in-all-houses mindset — and there are a lot of them — might find it easier now to pull the lever for Trump. And Trump fans will now walk over glass for their martyr. Plus, Trump’s chances of winning were probably underrated to begin with by polls and models, including the Silver Bulletin model, that didn’t account for Biden’s feebless as a candidate.”
