(102,283 posts)latest book or excerpts, I think you'd get the answer to your question. Ignore him at our own peril. As much as we'd like to think he'd go into obscurity if we just gave him zero attention, he is very dangerous with a very significant percentage of his extremist audience still "with him," and the de facto, yet very active head of the Republican Party. He wields his power behind the scenes in ways very reminiscent of Hitler 1933-34.
We sought to ignore Trump and merely ridicule him in 2015/2016. How did that work out? With all the anti-voting measures his party is effectively enacting he or someone just like him COULD return to full power. Until he loses power in significant measure with Republicans, he is damned dangerous.
DUers are intelligent enough to know that. Ignore at our own peril.
