It has long been established that many defined mental disorders are the result of chemical changes and imbalances in the brain and that they can be treated with drugs (chemicals) that effect and or restore those imbalances.
Why then should it be some stretch of the imagination that obsessive and compulsive hatred, as we are seeing focused on Trump and anyone who even dares express support for him or his policies, would created these same sort of imbalances that lead to virtually identical irrational and delusional behaviors and expressions?
Why then should there be an exception to a diagnosis of irrational delusions and or obsessive compulsive behavior because they are out growth of the person's politics?
After all we don't have any problem saying that the Hitlerites or the Stalinists or Maoists or Keymer Rouge were insane. Other than the extremes of what they actually did with power, how are their expressions that different from what we heard from Howard Stern or Jennifer Rubin? Why then shouldn't we be deathly afraid if people who make such statements are just as insane and would give their hatreds murderous manifestation given the opportunity?
