Liberals believe all political distinction comes from misunderstandings or ignorance. Since we don't seem to be ignorant, we must therefore be lying.

This seems to be a thing across the west. Media and Politicals will denounce Muslims as being religious fanatics but then turn right around and scoff at the idea that they would actually adhere to the ideals and laws of their religion. And many other examples. I think most libs can't actually imagine having convictions about something that are strong enough that you would actually break social norms, let alone laws, to fight for them.
