There is a huge component of this guided by religion that doesn't get talked about much. I've tuned in to some of the live streams of their speeches, and most of them invoke god in some way. They defend their actions because god is on their side, so it can't possibly be wrong. Except that they just made that up in their head. It's really hard to discuss something rationally when a person feels their choice isn't one they made, but one assigned by whoever they worship. It may also help explain why they are so easily fooled into believing nonsense without fact. Reason and science need not apply.
