    But it does support the notion that the severely mentally ill or those prone to the sorts of delusions that lead to mass murder are drawn to right wing extremist ideologies. It’s why a staggeringly lopsided proportion of terrorist attacks and mass killing acts are perpetrated by the right wing extremists.

      I don’t disagree with that one bit. Socially acceptable delusions are very attractive for people who are already prone to delusions in general, and make the notion of believing other things without evidence easier.
