If I were Hitler-level evil, and wanted minions to carry out my diabolical schemes of murder and mayhem, you’d be exactly the type of person I’d look for to help with such things
As a thought exercise: if he succeeded, doesn’t that only further incite the right, convince them that they are fighting the holy fight, and accelerate violence against the citizenry?
