In our modern world, it is very common to conflate motives we do not understand with some form of mental illness. This is understandable when it comes to horrific crime. Someone like a serial killer is so violent and twisted that it is hard for us to comprehend his actions, and there is certainly a fair amount of mental illness that is a factor. But today people often use this explanation when it comes to political disagreements. Abortion, hatred of Christians, the mutilation of children to turn a boy into a girl — these beliefs are so horrible that they can only possibly be explained by a malfunctioning brain. Of course, that is not the only explanation. The other option is that some people have a very different set of values that drive them to pursue goals that we view as evil. The average American would like to avoid this truth because it comes with an unnerving conclusion. Your political enemies are not crazy; they are sane people who hate you and want to hurt you.
