Z. is on the money. We tend to like confirmation bias conversations with folks who agree with us.

That's why some folks don't understand that slogan from the choir may not work for the middle of the road.

For example:

The gun is only a tool.

Doctors kill more.

The infamous one about the general who supposedly told a woman reporter about how she wasn't a hooker if though equipped to be so and thus gun folks aren't all killers. - That sounded fine for the guys at the range. Some genius professor tried it on a college debate (IIRC - have to look it up) with a femal antiprofessor and almost got vaporized for being so rude. His message was swamped by that insulting analogy.
