They didn't even try to pretend that it was a "campaign" rally, they weren't going for votes, they were inciting people with violent and vulgar rhetoric, identifying the enemy and increasing anger and outrage. it had nothing to do with getting them to vote, it was preparing people to do something else, something by force.
It was not a campaign rally, it was not an effort to win an election, it was something else completely, and it will be violent.
In the end they'll lose, they always lose, it's who they are, losers, but it will be ugly.
