These idiots aren't plain idiots. They're the sociopaths, psychopaths, and pedophiles of society, who naturally gravitate towards the authoritarianism/fascism of white nationalist religious extremism.

They're the domestic enemies the cops and military were supposed to fight against, but didn't because they're also filled with sociopaths and psychopaths who naturally gravitate towards fascism, lol.
