I rather like Obama’s approach. If you let your opponent go batshit crazy in public, and they do, then soon enough the mass of people will move away from them.
But the degree of absolute zonkers BS coming out lately makes me wonder if the craziest and loudest of the crazies aren’t actually backers of what they purport to fight.
