This last paragraph is spot on. In their warped minds it's a fight of politcal good over political evil, or from a religious view a fight of religious good over religious evil. Whatever it takes to get "good" to triumph is justified. Hate, lying, violence, cheating, mocking, etc.

It reminds me of the Crusades for some reason.

It's why even so-called "normie" Republicans, when pressed, will all say they will vote for Trump if he's their nominee because the alternative of electing an evil, satanic, fanatical Democrats (like Joe Biden!) would mean the end of civilization as we know it. I wish just once when they say this that a journalist would press them on specifics.
