Exceptions don't prove anything. Averages prove stuff. Where's the mean? This side of insane? Evangelicals we can generalize about, because they've generalized themselves. Sold their souls, achieving unanimity. Through utter submission. And not to God. Assuming God didn't create us as a race of slaves, degraded aggregations of arbitrary and uncontrollable impulses.
Rich fuckers have mostly done the same. Shown us their hand. They don't give a fuck about anyone else and they're infinitely fucking greedy.
But beyond that we have assorted authoritarian scum. Jumpers onto bandwagons. Lots of them drank the dope in the Reagan years. They went identity. They wanted to feel good about themselves, above all, and their greedy or sociopathic little ambitions and they got sucked in. Paul Ryan got sucked in. He built a life and living on wanting to screw his fellow citizens. On being an asshole.
It's a career choice. A way to make a living. No kidding. Stephen Miller? What's his résumé? Professional racist? In America you can get paid to be an asshole.
