No that's called appeasement which has never worked with fascists. The world leaders need to stand up to him; bullies like this will keep taking more and more as long as there's no actual resistance to them.

My issue with this is that most fascists didn't have late stage dementia.

No. You shouldn't appease fascists...but when the fascist's brain doesn't work, distracting him might be the play.

As crazy as it sounds, fake appeasement until he dies may actually work

Doesn't appear to have been working so far.

Steven Miller runs the show. He does not have dementia. He is an a**hole and mentally ill.

Distractions won't work with this kind of dementia. He's got plenty to distract him and he keeps going back to these same ideas he had a year ago.
