I think you will find that not that many humans are actually confident in their thoughts and actions. Self doubt is a hard thing to overcome. You find that, in a lot of folks that make fun of or shame others. Their self doubt requires that they cast doubt to others to appease their feelings of inadequacy. They HATE people who are sure of themselves!!! Those who can make an informed decision, without relying on a quorum to validate. When the msm feeds them talking points, and the masses are repeating those claims, it is easily attained ammo to attack those who are 100% certain of a situation, with 100% confirmed evidence, that they are whacko. Frustrating does not come close to adequately expressing the feeling it causes.
