I was being a bit factitious; I suspect the majority are sober and haven't had an education in rhetoric & propaganda techniques, epistemology, critically analysing mass media, etc and are socially bubbled to prevent exploring opposing views and perspectives.

They aren't going to learn something new or openly debate some concepts, they go to hear what they already believe. It's why fascist politicians sound so similar to some religious preachers, they act as an authority to subjectively define the ethics of the in/out groups and questioning their authority puts you in the out group.
