I personally liked the version of that quote from Command and Conquer Red Alert better.

He who controls the past commands the future. He who commands the future, conquers the past. - Kane

Margarine Green and her ilk only seem extreme now but like the millimeter by millimeter sea level rise that eventually floods out entire communities, every time they blarp out their lies without consequences they normalize their putrid hate that much more. They serve a very useful purpose for the GQP, one that democratic and justice-loving citizens would be unwise to ignore. Their d stochastic terrorism and violence-stoking “free speech” will gain more converts as economic, social, and environmental situations deteriorate because humans need to find scapegoats. Problem-solving, facing reality, and understanding each other takes work, time and compassion, three things that are in very short supply but that can change. How much we care as a species will be demonstrated by our actions over the next decade. I hope we choose wisely and well.
