There comes a point when threats become so overblown that they serve to irk rather than to frighten.

The further left you are, the more your concern for the underdog crowds out everything else, leading you to overlook inconsistencies.

Progressives and conservatives alike lean, unconsciously, towards particular conclusions, and then scrabble around to rationalise those conclusions to themselves.
