You are missing one very important point in my opinion. Everything you said is right but you do not explain why they want to drink the poison rather than facing reality, why they are difficult to deprogram and that is because they will not feel any shame about who they are because they actually unconsciously have been programmed to feel shamefully worthless, just as we all have. We have all been subjected to humiliation and hide behind ego to protect ourselves from feeling, remembering, endlessly consciously experiencing that pain. That is the inner reality we all deny and as a consequence project out into the world onto others. Those others are the real worthless ones, not us, not how we really feel. It is also why realibrad keep seeing both sides, not emphasizing that one side has Stockholm Syndrome and one side sympathizes with victims and that each side had different reactions to the same disease but also must come to different cures. Conservatives hate those who refused to be co-opted and must learn to love their victim within and liberals hate those who were co-opted and must learn to love those they want to pay back for being made into victims. None of it can be helped or have been any other way. There is only the now in which one can step out of the game. I call that awakening from the nightmare of self hate via real understanding. The journey to self realization is a journey that goes through hell, or for the lucky, those who step directly over it by losing themselves in faith.
