So do I. But she is still being idiotic. Probably, though, she was indoctrinated to her lunatic views as a child, when she was young and impressionable, and has just not been smart enough to break free. And if that is the case, she did not deserve that happening to her in childhood.
The position one finds oneself in is largely due to forces beyond one's control. One does not decide when and where to be born, into which family, nor does one choose the way one is raised.
Had she been raised better, she very likely would not be making such an idiotic choice now. And that is unfortunate.
