Timothy McVeigh won as his “ideas” now permeate right-wing terrorists and even elements of the Republican Party. Powerful column by Michelle Goldberg.

“As it happens, in the hours after the Oklahoma City bombing, before the authorities knew who McVeigh was, he was pulled over during a routine traffic stop and then arrested for carrying a gun without a permit. In 2019, however, Oklahoma legalized permitless carry. Under the new law, McVeigh would have been let go.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/08/opinion/timothy-mcveigh-mass-shootings.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
