Well, I tend to use "rational" to mean analytic, cutting up. So when the liberals I was talking to expressed that the vote Trump as molotov cocktail was rational, I heard "if that's the way you slice up the world, then it makes sense ... it's not nonsense." But by saying it was unreasonable, they're simply pointing out that it's an extreme way to slice up the world. You don't need naive realism to grok that distinction.
