I have no clue as to whether or not this is an unpopular opinion (I know that some people are bound not to like it though), but I believe that people are, by default, not rational logical beings. There is no such thing as being a "rational person". We rely heavily on all sorts of heuristics, intuition, and habits to get through the day. Even when we think we are relying purely on logic when making a decision, there are likely all sorts of unconscious biases and heuristics going on in the background that impact how we decide to do things. Anybody who thinks of themself as a rational logical being lacks self-awareness.
I feel like this is highlighted pretty well in the social intuitionist model, which argues that moral judgements are based on intuition rather than on reason. The reasoning is what comes afterwards. This is commonly demonstrated through moral dumbfounded, where, when one with strong moral convictions are pressed on their beliefs, fail to establish any kind of rational reason to support their position. Despite this, many still stand by that moral stance.
I also feel like it's no coincidence that the whole "facts don't care about your feelings" thing became popular within right-wing circles around the mid-2010s. It's a tool used to push the idea that you are rational while those around you aren't, thus encouraging those apart of that demographic to not bother to evaluate their beliefs with more scrutiny and instead just brush off anyone who doesn't agree with you as being "irrational", even when they have a lot of evidence to back up their point. It just ends up promoting anti-intellectualism. I'm saying this as someone who used to hangout in those circles back in middle-school up until I was around midway through high school.
I'm still stubborn about my beliefs and it sometimes gets to a point where I can come off as pushy at times, but I'm aware that this partly stems from me being irrational (this isn't to day that I don't need to work on this, because I do).
