Because their supposed moral superiority is so flagrantly undermined that they lash out. Genocide, to most people, is rather indefensible. If your cult leader is guilty of perpetrating/at the very least fully enabling and covering for it, it becomes rather clear that your support for them is not a moral or rational choice but rather, well, cultish. Most people do not like being confronted with their cognitive dissonances and thus act like this.

It's like Christian people when you start to compare what they say to what's in the bible, they get angry

Pretty much; and moral superiority was about the only thing they got to hang over conservatives.

"Biden will give us single payer and free college and cut border spending" wellllll, about that...

"Biden will treat immigrants humanely and prevent us participating in more indefensible conflicts" welll.....

What's even left now that they do 'better' than conservatives, spending programs/grants that have accomplished little to nothing?

madeline-deadpan voting for Democrats because they're the lesser evil

we-are-not-the-same voting for Republicans because they're better at being evil

They are perpetual losers, Republicans will win
