I don't think they're struggling to understand it. They become quite excellent at understanding it once it turns to anything they support. China, Russia, Hamas, the Houthis, all the lesser evil. But for 'some reason' any time non-authoritarian regimes are involved, they become determined to ensure that the world knows that they're willing to kill every last minority for their 'principles'.
Yeah maybe you're right. The thing that gets me is if they really understood how bad it could get under someone like Trump, like really understood how hard things can get and how fast it can happen - no way they'd hand him the keys to the country. There's just a real disconnect there that I will never understand.
No, I think they still would. I really, legitimately think that they're the secular equivalent of the Rapture lunatics I grew up with in an evangelical upbringing. They view the current state of affairs as a sinful world which must be destroyed by any means.
