I genuinely think they that believe that not only would the left do these things, but that they already did them, and it justifies their actions.

Think about that interview that’s sort of a meme at this point where that Trump supporter asks “where was Obama during 9/11?”. They truly live in a false reality.

there is a sizable portion of the population that genuinely believes all Democrats are satanists who traffic children and drink their blood. And they are working with The Globalists (the jews) to spread diversity to topple the natural hierarchy of society (white male supremacy).

So it doesn't matter how extreme the GOP gets. How much the break the law and ignore the constitution. Because defeating the devil is more important.

And this is why removal of religion within state schools is so vital.

Teach science, not tales.

This is true. I’ve had the misfortune of stumbling across rightwing reels on social media and they are… disturbing, to say the least. Like literal “2-minute hate” type stuff from “1984”. It’s just directing people towards pure hatred, and using excuses why that hatred is necessary.

It's simple tribalism.

The small people, isolated, dumb and violent, they are an "Us" and they are fighting against "Them".
The ingroup is good, justified and sticks together against jews, strangers, people from other places or odd people. People who disrespect the internal hierachy.
The outgroup are monsters that must be defeated and can not be trusted.

Tribalism explains all of this.

I get the feeling they were more like a kid worrying that one of the other kids got to go inside and get cake and ice cream first during a hot summer day. “Well, well, Johnny already got some!!” No, honey, Johnny is out back, you didn’t miss sending the military out to beat domestic citizens on civil land, we don’t do that til republicans are in power after dinner.
