Whether they think that has nothing to do with whether they believe there's an objective answer to the question. What they do, however, is take positions that are in blatant violation of the observable facts around them. The whole "alternative facts" this is basically an exercise in "taking responsibility for your perceptions", and choosing to believe whatever you think is right, regardless of the objective reality around you.
You have a point, and I'll admit that rich conservatives give their followers propaganda that defies their beliefs about objective reality. If we're talking about alternative facts, then yes, that's the rich not caring about the truth. That's the rich... using magic. Changing people's beliefs to alter the subjective world their followers live in. Yes, the rich and the corrupt politicians are not realists.
And we can't beat them if we give up the powerful weapon that is magic. They're using magic, we should use magic too. Magic is a technology that can be used for good or evil, but when it's used to enforce an idea of objective reality, that's when it becomes evil. The rich DO NOT WANT their followers taking responsibility for their own perceptions. They want their followers perceiving whatever their rulers tell them! We need to break their magic by freeing the poor conservatives from their realist programming, so the working class can control our subjective world.
