They’re reprehensible, obviously. But that doesn’t make that not human. That’s the same kind of rhetoric that leads to folks believing they could never make bad or evil choices, because “only a monster would make that choice, and I’m not a monster”.
And then you think no choice you make can be that bad, because you’re a good person after all. This is precisely the kind of train of thought that the modern-day Republicans have when they take away human rights, and you should never allow yourself to fall into this trap.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.
