Exactly. Emotional intelligence and IQ are two very different things..Political leanings are often determined by the desire to be part of the gang. And this can be the best place to shelter oneself (the gang) during testing times. Once with the gang common virtues can be over ridden and acts that appease the gang leaders become the standard. The other great historical quagmire was Japan's rise into extreme fascism. A nation founded on Zen principles lose its way with a gang (the IJA) and appease the gang leader. (Tojo and the Emperor). In the QLD case it appears the female may have been dragged into violent acts to appease her extremist husband. Something she would not normally consider.
