6. They love what they thought the country was.

A Darwinian, Randian paradise where the strongest crush the weak. Where the whiter you are, the righter you are. Where the more money you have, the more god loves you. Where deviation from the norm is evil, and where freedom means free to conform to the norm. Where power and respect flow up and responsibility to obey is for the weak. Where Adam is in charge and Eve in thrall. This country does exist, and not only in their rigid, unyielding minds. It exists in great swaths of the US map colored red, where opportunity for the working class long ago fled to the areas colored blue.
