An unqualified guess:
*the visual cortex experiences an excitation through a confirmational bias filter
*readiness potentials are triggered by a challenge by a novel,potentially heretical position
*the amygdala secretes adrenocorticotropic hormone and norepinephrine
*which disinhibits the hard-wired switch to the R-complex
*triggering the hypothalmus to stimulate the adrenal gland's production of cortisol into the bloodstream
*initiating fear amplification and fight/conflict response
*compartmentalized
*leading to a mental habit
*of target fixation/ide'e fixe
*and attack response
*ending in chemical dependency (literally addiction) to the norepinephrine/dopamine/testocerone/adrenaline.At the first appearance of an Alexandria Ocasio Cortez,or the like,the person immediately bypasses logic,and goes directly to non-processed behavior.It's a physiological response at this level,and so addictive that the individual can't shake it.
