These people are not crazy. These people are very much enjoying their paranoia and hate, and have sufficient “rationality” to channel it towards their own selfish agenda.

They like being angry. They like that their anger seems to get them what they want. They like the reaction they get when they upset or cow people. They like not empathizing, because it makes them feel superior.

What they really like is that they no longer have to pretend otherwise. Sarah Palin and the new GOP have made it all acceptable.
