No but I can prove they're short-sighted; and those two things go hand-in-hand. In my experience I've frankly yet to see someone older than like 22-years-old espouse such self-defeating beliefs and goals.

I can also prove that right-wing extremists engage in political astroturfing routinely and that according to investigative reporting these far-right groups intend to muddy the waters.

Taken from there, it takes very little ink (inductive reasoning) to connect the dots.
