I can see how she could sincerely believe all that bullshit and build a worldview from it, but it's because she lives in a narrow world that has no point of contact beyond its own confines. This allows her to make utterly confident assertions about the larger world, untainted by any trace of knowledge or experience that would provide the grounds for a sympathetic understanding of what she's slagging off.

Or rather, this would apply to those who respond positively to her bullshit, not so much to her. She's a straight up fascist.
