and making it illegal for parties to call for genocide would've helped his campaign, how? It doesn't necessarily harm his campaign as he could/did just dogwhistle instead, but it certainly wouldn't help it.
FWIW Hitler wasn't the example I was thinking of when using that example. He didn't AFAIK explicitly call for genocide but he did dehumanise Jewish people with propaganda.
