If real bigots were as eloquent with their words as Dukat, we might have a problem. Thankfully, none of them seemed to have that kind of charisma since Hitler killed himself.

Eloquence isn't the only measure of charisma. See: Trump.
Destroy the Cardassian education system, and the populace will believe anything, even the eloquent words of a Vorta like Weekend at Keevan's, controlled by Rom.
No we wouldn’t because the solution to the paradox of tolerance is that you can’t be tolerant of intolerance. It’s a social contract, if one party breaks it, the contract is broken.

It's a shame Dukat never got the recognition he deserved for the kindness he showed the Bajorans. Not even 1 statue, for shame.
There's plenty, they're just not as big on world-conquering as Hitler (or Dukat). Just look at any megachurch.
With the rising tide of hate crimes and white supremacist attacks on democratically elected reps, it’s obvious they don’t need to be eloquent.
Just criminal.
Was Hitler supposed to be charismatic?
If you consider charisma as knowing what to say and when to say it to get people to agree with you then yeah kinda

fight hate with love
enslaves whole planet
Yes, but he loved that planet with all his heart. It tore him up inside to do all that torturing and murdering. Just a big ole' softy that Dukat.
That's why it's soooo sad they didn't build any statues of him :(
I feel like the Internet is full of people who think they're Kira but are in reality the useful idiots Kai Winn leverages to gain power.
I'm a Pakled.
A lot also think they are Kira while in reality they are just virtue signaling for internet points and the rush of being "right". They stray further and further from rationality and basically become a screaming hate mob.
Well yeah as it should be when applied carefully: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
We love tankie kira
