      From what I understand, much of American nazi ideology revolves around accelerationism towards an all-out genocidal race war. If their white savior figure were to be martyred it could further radicalize the right towards that end. Keep in mind the last attempt on Trumps life was by a right-winger and that only galvanized his followers. They aren’t angry with Trump, they’re just insane bigots that will go to any lengths to promote genocide.

        e.g. the Reichstag fire where Nazis burned down their own parliament to frame their enemies.

      I mean, didn’t Trump renege on some tariffs and back off on some other things while trying to hide the recensions by either distracting the public or just blaming the democrats.

      The kid likely is in the mindset that any bit of ‘give’ shows weakness.
