I think the extremism and cruelty of the GOP elected and their base is rooted in a very primitive and almost primal immaturity. It seems like they are deeply rooted in the Freudian id level of personal and social maturation.
I state this not as an insult but rather as an analysis and from personal experience of dealing with people who want to harm others who haven't done anything to them.

That's one reason why having them control levers of state and government power is so dangerous.
