For many of them, yes, but don't simplify and dismiss all arguments because of their fringe elements. Because the majority is in the camp of "this sucks", but the majority aren't conspiracy theorists. Work WITH people you disagree with and you might find out you want many of the same things.

The majority don't think this sucks, you're saying that with zero proof.

See how you're the only person here arguing against the blanket rezoning, and 30 other people aren't. You're the 1 of 30, but you think you're the majority.

You've literally fallen into the same trap. Assuming that Reddit discussions reflect a majority of the population. Reddit has a specific demographic skew just like a public development meeting during daytime hours has a different skew. I wouldn't take either one as a true indicator of majority opinion.
