"people who want to think of themselves as Republicans because they're comfortable identifying with a group"
They seem to regard their support for the GOP as being something akin to being a fan of a particular football team. A lot of them, as soon as you start querying their rationale for supporting the GOP, either (a) mutter that they're not really very political or (b) start shouting extremely loudly and volubly, as if the volume level somehow makes the most godawful tripe truer than it might otherwise be.
