Pretty sure I've read/listened to a few articles/podcasts which discuss the certainty of the right.
A good example of this is the pearl clutching over Trevor Noah's comments about Rishi Sunak.
Loads of right wing commentators saying that Sunak doesn't face significant racism in the UK.
However, those who pay attention to these sorts of things will know that the Great Replacement Theory is gaining traction in the UK and is popping up all over Twitter and Facebook. You only have to look at the comments/replies to any tweet about Diane Abbot and Sadiq Khan to see examples.
Anyway, my point is, that journalists like Tom Harwood and various right wing grifters are all like "this is a lie and isn't a thing in the UK!" when in actual fact, they are just certain they are right because they actually haven't bothered to look. Or maybe don't want to believe its true. Or know its true and want to pretend its not. Pick one.

I can’t begin to understand this trait. I think I’d love the simplicity of being unwaveringly certain I’m right about things, against any evidence or discussion. I imagine people like that sleep really well going to be every night all like ‘another great day of me being great at everything’.
