There’s this really weird assumption a lot of the less bigoted people on Tumblr make, which is that the political class goes against the will of the people in order to be more bigoted than the people want. This leads into revolutionary fantasies, because if most people aren’t actually bigots and agree with you, surely they would join your revolution. They don’t seem to get how common and popular bigotry is.
