I wouldn't say you have to condescend to them but realise most of these people have been brainwashed into a cult. Like other cults I won't call them blameless of their actions but they are also victims of the cult leaders. Cult leaders use deceptive psychological techniques to influence people.
I had that attitude the first time around, but they have had a decade of this guy and his cohorts. At some point they have to be accountable for their actions. He directly and indirectly caused the deaths of millions of people and is in the process of causing untold numbers more. His actions in just the last 6 months will have repercussions that will kill and maim people for several generations. At what point is it ok to hold the not just the abusers, but the facilitators of the abuse accountable for their actions?
