Alex Pretti wasn’t a part of “engineered chaos.” He was a nurse who cared about people. An individual. What is “engineered chaos” is what this admin is doing in blue cities to justify invocation of the insurrection act.

Agreeing with Elizabeth here. It's giving, "I discovered the new world.". It's giving, "I am a colonizer."
