You mistake your own point of view for objective reality.
Research indicates that people assume their view of the world is based on unbiased information, while those who disagree with them are biased by their ideology.
Naïve realism is the psychological conviction that we perceive the world as it truly is. Because we believe our perspective is objective, we assume anyone who disagrees is either uninformed, irrational, or biased.
You rarely debate the facts; you debate the rationality of people who see things differently.
