They do because they have no choice. Their ability to think for themselves has been compromised. Think of them like Ophiocordyceps fungi: basically, they have zero control over their own behavior outside of their servitude to Tantrumus Maximus. If he wills it, they see it done- without question and without consciousness.

There is no need to bring biology into this. They have been taken over by fascism.
