Gotcha.
I think most people are highly resistant to having their beliefs and ideas challenged in any way.
Unfortunately, people view someone with an opposing view as that challenge, these days. There has been a big shift to making your political ideology inextricable from your self identity. Probably a natural consequency of leftist totalitarianism.
Reason and self-consistency take effort. They don't want to do the work, and every environmental input is actively trying to stop them from doing so to maintain its control over them.
Basing beliefs and ideas on feelings is the easy default. Lashing out in anger at a challenge to that is also easy, and somewhat justifiable when viewed as an attack on the self.
Take some little comfort in knowing that this is not by their own doing, as they have been heavily socially conditioned to be this way. Grant some grace to those still in the Matrix, so that they may have a better chance of waking up.
