I'm honestly not sure if he would make it out alive if he didnt lick the boot. Not saying what he's doing is okay, just that his life might be in actual danger as it is.
I think it's more a thing of the limelight. If he doesn't lick the boot, he gets shut out of the capitalist media sphere, which makes it hard to get any electoral traction. And people like him are willing to sacrifice principles (if they ever had them) in order to get elected. They just either don't take into account, or don't care, that by doing this, they neutralize the effectiveness of their own political platform.
Bernie Sanders wasn't even radical and he got shut out and misrepresented to a huge degree.
More than mtg?
Not sure. I dont follow her or maga in general. Do we have evidence for political murder inside maga? We do have it outside and trump threatened him already.
We have congresspersons and judges saying they're afraid and have been threatened. I imagine threats would be neutralized before hard evidence would be forthcoming.
