Then others can read false equivalencies, or fictional rhetoric, and believe it. After all, it was on Fox News, or OAN, or Breitbart, so maybe it is true.
Then it becomes the narrative of truth.
Then people believe it.
Then you have more Yohos.
Do you want more Yohos? Because letting him rant unchecked is how you get more Yohos.
Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if he was a reasonably good guy, that fell in that trap and now here, here he's being challenged here Reddit, or 4Chan or wherever doesn't. His echo chamber doesn't push back, so CP must be wrong.

He's just trolling. There are hundreds of level headed posters here - no one is coming here, reading Yoho's posts and thinking - that's my guy and getting radicalized. And he's been here for long enough that its obvious that the next rebuttal is not going to change his mind.
Its a tale as old as the internet - don't feed the trolls.
