I’d be inclined towards a useful idiot in CM case. It is not overall idiocy, just a selective one, something similar to a professional deformation to use an analogy.

You may notice that many a lib seem to be quite erudite, which implies a degree of intelligence. However, their wiring is reminiscent of a lobotomy. Not a physical one but something is not right in their skulls. The proclivity to hold and process two contradictory concepts at the same time, without any discomfort and pain seems to point that way.

What is it that is missing there? I’d tend to believe that being unmoored morally, I’d content that their in-your-face proclaimed compassion and empathy is largely mythical. They know, deep down, that it is true that they live a lie, and the best way for them to deal with it is by substitution. The state is supposed to resolve this conundrum for them, they pay their indulgences in the form of a tax and receive the paid-for absolution. This is a reflection of their lack of moral compass, and that is the bridge missing–an abyss in structuring of their mind that provides the mechanism for their cognitive dissonance.
