Americans experience a false social reality by underestimating popular climate policy support by nearly half - Nature Communications

Yeah that seems like basically they argument.

Preliminary evidence suggests three sources of these misperceptions: (i) consistent with a false consensus effect, respondents who support these policies less (conservatives) underestimate support by a greater degree; controlling for one’s own personal politics, (ii) exposure to more conservative local norms and (iii) consuming conservative news correspond to greater misperceptions.

Quick, call the American Association of Sociologists!

Frequently people like popular ideas as concepts but oppose specific implementations because of who is proposing it or their (mis)understanding of how it would be implemented.

Like the pushback against single payer healthcare and expanding gun laws is in opposition to people's widespread support of the concept is based on fear of how it would work out while ignoring the current status quo. I support universal healthcare, but only one party would implement it in a way that didn't screw minorities and lgbtq+ folks. That means I would be on board supporting it while fighting against one party's proposals which seems like a contradiction, but is because I would actually want the real thing.
