I think both intra-party and stochastic violence can coexist and even overlap
Biggest difference between MAGA and NSDAP is the chaotic nature of the former and the hierarchical ideology of the former. But it looks as if both in cases there is a surge in violence from the ruling party, whoever it is directed against, as it consolidates power. Trumpism is trying to direct violence towards the cities and persons it perceives as oppositional and vulnerable. But the absence of a single coherent ideology and the cobbling together of multiple factions with differing indoctrination and an overall lack of coherence or discipline is bound to result in fratricidal violence.
The guy who shoot at Trump searched for Biden or Harris events but couldn’t find one. This guy could have tried to assassinate any number of political figures to the left who Groypers identified as good targets had the opportunity presented.
