It's not too surprising Babbitt turned out the way she did, because you can see it in her mother. Her mother has blamed everyone but the two people most responsible for Ashli's death: Ashli herself, and Donald Trump. Donald Trump is why she came to the Capitol, Donald Trump is why she was convinced of a stolen election, and a stolen election is why she was convinced storming the House chamber was a patriotic act on a par with Lexington and Concord.
It's the same mentality that leads to where we're headed: when the economy and stock market crash because of actual policies of the president of the United States, or when the Epstein Files are covered up, the MAGAs will look everywhere for blame but where the fault lies, and that's just the ones willing to acknowledge some semblance of reality. The rest will deny any of it is happening.

To be sure, MAGA's M.O. has always been to assign blame to anyone but themselves for any and every problem that might arise.
