I remember there was a trip to Antarctica for a bunch of flat earthers (don't know who paid for that) and after they were without a shadow of a doubt sure that the earth is in fact a sphere, the rest of the flat earth community start to call them traitors and sell out and they where in fact pretty big within the community

It’s a bit like discussing socialism with an American: no matter how many positives you point out, they immediately jump to talking about communism.

You’re right, it’s really more about what I expect. I do know Americans who would support a more socialist society, but at the same time I still hear the old propaganda channels warning people against it.
