That's a very difficult concept for them to understand. The mental gymnastics I've seen them use to excuse or defend genocide has been wild.

By just saying, "I don't want to endorse a genocide." sends them into a frothing rage, with arguments immediately fired against the right. They see it as 'us vs. them', but fail to see that people don't want to endorse a genocide no matter the color of the party.
