Another confusing point about "if they're not harming other people" is what we mean by "they?" My mother believes things that are catastrophically destructive when they are held by people with the power to act on them. But she is an old woman in poor health who does not own a gun and probably couldn't lift one. She will never be in a position to commit war crimes. Because of how the electoral college is set up, and because of the area she lives in, her vote will not make Donald Trump more likely to be elected president.
