Gov. Kristi Noem says Georgia elected 'communists' to serve in the U.S. Senate

45. Not actually insanity, but is loss or lack of reasoning skill, making them suckers for propaganda

Of course the extreme cases are somewhat insane, like the violent ones such as the ret. Lt. Col. in the well of the chamber with the tactical gear and Plasticuffs. His friends and family stated that they have withdrawn from him because he is so obsessed with trumpanzee conspiracy theories.

If it were really true that a Presidential election had been stolen by about 5 million votes, then yes it would be sane rational and reasonable to fight for democracy in the streets and elsewhere.

But they are not entitled to an alternative set of facts. They were never reasoned into their views, though they will cite mountains of "evidence" and string it together with what seems like logic on the surface. Because of a lack of basic reasoning they get emotionally attached to theories and can't be reasoned out of them. They rationalize away counter-evidence and have confirmation bias.

Anytime you take the time to examine it, their evidence and their purported logic quickly falls apart.

So, mostly not insanity; mostly they never learned critical thinking or they lost the skill of analyzing and reasoning carefully.

What remains is a susceptibility to emotion and thus they are easy targets for propaganda.
