It can’t. As I’ve said on numerous other occasions, these people cannot be reasoned with. They are fully, absolutely convinced that they are engaged in a literal holy war for the soul of the nation. They are completely prepared to believe that their political opponents are not just people with differing political ideas, but actual agents of the dark lord of the underworld. There can be no compromise, you are either with God (them), or the Devil (those that don’t agree with them).

This is what happens when you tolerate fairy-tales-as-belief-system in your political discourse.

With that worldview, and no fear of law enforcement and the courts, they would quickly reintroduce lynching. And they’d feel good about it.
