When the most left leaning candidate is right leaning I moves the overton window right
If the right wing candidate is a far right fascist, you prevent it moving to far right fascist. Shut that down and then next time they won't run a far right fascist and guess what the Overton window moves left.
Case in point: they are running a far right fascist again because they think he can win. If he was shut down the first time, the Overton window would have moved left.
