    Yes, but I don’t think it’s because he’s angling for a social group that’s into doing a bunch of hate crimes.

    It’s much more likely he’s doing it for political reasons.

    I could be very wrong however.

        intent and context.

        One is an actual bigot, one is an effective bigot but only by convenience.

        All he is doing is ahowing that racism is ok now.

        He’s showing that tolerance of bigotry is currently ok as long as it’s a means to a political end.

        Which is different in intent and context, but as you say, not necessarily different in outcome, for some.

        The difference between “benefits him politically”(starmer & johnson) vs “is a bigoted arsehole”(farage).
