It isn't that this "attack" did nothing to change anything for the better, indeed had absolutely no potential to change anything for the better, the attack was extremely counterproductive.

All it does is give the reich-wing a talking point to lie about, exaggerate, and amplify. It is tempting to assume that these people were instigated by an undercover reich-wing operative. But frankly, anyone stupid enough to do something like this might be stupid enough to come up with the idea on their own.
