I generally agree with your overall thesis here.
There are of course psychopaths, and people with psychosis in all groups, but you simply don’t get mobs or organized groups of such people en masse for fairly obvious reasons.
But when you say this: “They're terrified because they really believe that their favored candidate was illegally robbed of office.”
You leave out that a significant part of the group of non lunatics think that the cause is a cabal of globalist canibalistic pedophiles.
When we talk about not dismissing concerns, it seems comparatively easy not to dismiss concerns about election integrity. It also seems comparatively easy not to dismiss concerns about how trade policy has invested in other nations to the neglect of many everyday Americans (to cite some examples).
What is not so easy not to dismiss is the concern about the conspiracy of cannibalistic pedophiles.
I say this not to say we should dismiss anyone’s concerns, but to elaborate on what the challenge seems to have become.
