That might be the case for some right wingers who try and provoke counter protests, but I don’t get why a guy with his history would want people to come and give him negative attention.

I totally get that, but I think, what I mean is, why give this guy any sort of attention. Let him just fizzle out with no one talking about him so that even when you type him his name in Google he’s so irrelevant it doesn’t even pop-up.

letting them fizzle actually encourages them by making them think it's acceptable since there's no pushback. it ends up having the opposite effect
