I can't speak for Nicole, Beccy, but my guess is that it's not his ideology that attracts abusive people but his verbally abusive tactics. Especially his verbal abuse of women who aren't subservient to men. I once had a boyfriend who loved listening to Andrew Dice Clay. This concerned me because Andrew Dice Clay uses a lot of "humor" that is abusive to women. I figured, if my boyfriend thinks this is funny, maybe deep down, he really feels this way about women.

It turns out he was abusive. Not overtly physically abusive, but abusive nonetheless.
