Conservative Rating Fallacy
The Conservative belief that the majority agree with their opinion, particularly because of ratings on a social media post.
Generally this occurs on left-leaning social media posts, where the majority of the received feedback is from conservative users.
Typically the smaller, conservative group tend to base their beliefs around hatred, and thus feel the need to give overwhelming negative feedback to assert dominance and protect their sensitive egos. The actual majority however, tends to be made up of people who don't care, or are intelligent enough not to argue with idiots.

Post: "Donald Trump has a bad spray tan and says a lot of stupid things."
Person 1: Why does that post have more dislikes than likes? Everything about it is completely true.
Person 2: Oh don't mind that, it's just from a bunch of cultists using the Conservative Rating Fallacy.
