The Dati Le'umi people are thirsting for inspiration. They're wired for Chassidus, often times much more than Bnei Berakkers. Looks like it's not all Chabad or Breslov either. They'll go anywhere they're accepted. From Toldos Aron to Kretchnif and everything in between. The Sadigerrer Rebbes have a long-standing tradition of having many of these people in their midst, from the old country to Tel Aviv.
R' Shlomo Aviner on his philosophical opponents
They're also pushovers, these very accepting Dati Le'umi people, if you ask me. Why do they turn the other cheek to these who deny their existence and make them into evil heretics? I assume for the same reason they cried on the shoulders of those who banished them from their homes in GK some 10 years ago. I guess the messianic form of Zionism they preach does it to them. It robs them of their self-esteem and self-worth. It teaches them that they deserve to be stepped on and spit at. That's the only reason I could come up with.
