The man is a symbol of what basic cultural hate and fear combined with bad personal life experiences does to a guy. He seems like the kind of guy who's easy to criticise and wouldnt know actual consequences of the extreme policies he supports or logical ones, he doesnt. Its kinda like that one case where american anti-gay activists got their shit laughed out of them in the US so they went to Uganda and spread their fears and logic to the government there, who pretty much took their word dead seriuslly. It all ended up with shitton of anti-gaylaws that resulted in bunch of executions and people getting decades of prisonsentencing over basically nothing. The activists themselves were seriuslly shocked on how they fucked up and denied any involvement. But it was all on tape and the evidence was just overwhelming.
