There is a purpose to his madness. A scripted, malevolent purpose.

Carefully timed to slowly remove protections and insert forces loyal to the cause. Maybe not to trump, but to the fascist, white-supremacist xian cause.

Don't rile up the populace too much all at once. Turn up the heat in selected places, selected groups. Normalize.

Then when the population is cowed and quiet, subdue them all - including the 2A zealots.
