Not just against their wishes but willingly duped.
Personally, I believe it's deeper than that, honestly. I believe it is spiritual blindness. Proverbs 29:18 - "Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint but blessed is he who keeps the law." - When a nation casts God's law aside, they cast off restraint. That's what we are seeing this nation do now. I believe it is what explains the irrationality of the left.
That is the only thing that keeps me sane - knowing that it's a spiritual battle and that there actually is some logic behind the illogic of the left. Their judgment is clouded by spiritual blindness - and they have been given over to a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28).
