More projection, or just plain stupidity?

Enough of those dumb fucks have made loud, confrontational politics such a core part of their personality that they can't wrap their heads around the existence of people who don't agree with them and know better than to get dragged into arguments with them.

They all likely have friends, family, and coworkers who silently roll their eyes but don't engage every time they spout off some idiotic bullshit because it's just not worth pissing off babies who can't handle being disagreed with.

Because they never learned the art of politely disagreeing and moving on, they believe silence is consensus. With such an ignorant mindset, it's really not at all surprising that they think unfavourable polling must be fake. Rather than adjusting their worldview based on changing information, they dismiss any information that doesn't support their worldview.
