Called cognitive dissonance.

I practically had to have a therapy session with my friend, she was so rattled to see a group of people acting in such
a heinous and callous way. And she wondered what it meant for the upcoming election. It didn't leave her with optimism.

Good thing I was not at the party, I would have had some choice words for these people.
