Assuming these people don't understand that their ideas are unworkable is a mistake. Don't believe for a second they are stupid or ignorant.

The difference between a criminal and a law-abiding citizen isn't that the citizen knows that crimes are wrong, it's that the citizen cares that crimes are wrong and the criminal doesn't.

Nope, probably the more apt description is 'in denial'.

I think that's very charitable.

I'd describe it as "kayfabe".
