Well, I'd probably agree with him (partly) but if I didn't, so what? He still acted in self-defense. He wouldn't suddenly turn into a monster if I disagreed with him on some foreign policy bullshit that doesn't even really affect me.
It's more to the point about manipulation and establishing celebrities on the Right and having them becoming talking heads for policies they themselves probably haven't a clue about. Yes, he acted in self-defense. However, the ability to act in self defense doesn't suddenly make him an expert in politics. Nor should anyone be beholden to his words simply because he did the right thing in defending himself against his would-be killer.
I agree, and he's not a particularly good one, either. Showing up on Cuckieta's show a second time after the disaster that was the first time shows that.
It'd help if there were organizations wanting to help him out and use him as a rallying figure. But it's an all too common sentiment on the right to view any attempt to organize as grifting or use these celebrity political figures as immoral. So you instead get people trying to work things out on their own or getting second rate attempts at organizing.
He's also obviously a puppet, and like Greta Thunberg, isn't going to convince anyone who isn't already convinced, while somewhat annoying even some of the people who agree with both of them to some extent. Maybe they're a rallying figurehead to people already on the boat, but nobody's getting on for climate goblin or Hogg.
The real thunk-provoking part is that his father, Kevin Hogg, was a former FBI agent.
They're nagging voices in the backs of people's minds that their side is right. May not view any value in that, but it is there.
