I mean, they are crazy and frankly idiotic but they are also mostly one step removed from people that are in positions to do real damage. I mean, heck, in this group itself you have former high ranking military and a judge and former member of parliament (not 20 years ago but 2 years ago and still filling an active role for her right wing party which is surfing the asshole resurgence to the tune of 15% in polls).
