...that I doubt that there's any way back to reality for them.

One of the worst aspects is that they believe everyone else in the world is like them -unable to separate their puny emotions from anything they do. For instance, I think that Trump is the worst example of human in all of history, with no positive personality traits whatsoever. However, if I was on that jury he would get a completely fair and dispassionate verdict that was consistent with both the law and the evidence. If the evidence wasn't there, he'd get a "not guilty" from me despite my feelings. This is impossible for most Republicans these days.
