I know some of them, and sadly am related to some of them. They really are "out there" but they believe, with every fiber of their being, that most of the country agrees with them. They really really do.

Outside of their bubble ( fox news/corporate media, their own circle of other RW friends/asscociates, their church ) they have a hard time dealing with interactions with others and tend to view it not as a foray into the real world, but rather getting lost in a bad section of town.
