Or he wanted to be the chance for the Democrat party to course correct. Fat chance, that. But I'm pretty sure he knows they're going off the deep end, and they might just go scorched earth in desperation.
That is, if he truly isn't a 100% foreign interest puppet.
They already proved that when they had an episode where Spock became 100% human, and suddenly bursts out in cringe emotion.
Vulcans have TOO MUCH emotion, that they had to take extreme measures with their cultural conditioning to prevent self-destruction. To take an idea I mentioned elsewhere, they went Absolute Law (via Logic) because they were destroying themselves as a race of True Chaos (unchecked emotion).
Honestly, I'm not against "Law vs. Chaos" themes in contrast to "Good vs. Evil," though those sorts of stories, to be effective, usually make a point that both ends of that spectrum are not good (True Law denies you any agency, True Chaos is unhindered immorality and destruction), a balance keeps their worst aspects in check.
They couldn't possibly do that right though. At this point, they're literally cheering Chaos as being a moral good.
I know you guys hate the concept Revsaysdesu/Rev goes for, but he's got a decent series of "Violated by Community Notes" videos. Also had some "Your Likes are Public" videos, but that's pretty much canceled since they aren't anymore.
I feel like I'm missing some important context.
