It can always be infiltrators. But, as I've always said, the stupidity of the Trump cult and its minions can be encountered across the political spectrum. Heg was not just an antislavery activist but associated with the emigre socialist current among the Wisconsin Free Democrats. This was one of the more radical of the early antislavery parties--so much so that it ran Warren Chase, an open socialist for governor of Wisconsin in the 1850s. (Chase was, I think, the earliest American member of the First International.} If it was not done by right-wing infiltrators, it was an act of supreme dipshittery, worthy of the dumbest and most idiotic of liberals.
