Religious zealotry is a good way to put it. People arguing for things they know are wrong, yet still feel the need to argue in favor of it, no matter how abhorrent the topic or behavior is.
Arguing for things that 10+ years ago they would have vehemently been opposed to. It's like they're brainwashed into this new religion.
