Because you're not crazy.

I think there are a lot of people out there who can't imagine why anyone would ever want to live anyway other than how they live. While I may look at some people and have no desire to live my life in that way, I can respect that they want to live that way and it makes them happy, just like they may not want to live the way I do. I can also understand that there is often more than one way to solve a problem. If a person has an opposite opinion than mine on something I can respect that so long as their position is reasonable and based on some kind of fact. Where I get annoyed is when things seem to happen primarily out of spite and I see a lot of that in our leadership (past and present) with some of the laws they pass and things they do and see people on both sides who support that and cheer for it not because the thing is actually good, but because it will anger the other side. We shouldn't be doing things just to piss off those with opposing views because I really believe that what goes around comes around so I try to be respectful and try to make reasonable arguments and leave the gaslighting to others.
