believing with a straight face

Everyone talks for their own benefit. They are not really trying to persuade anyone but themselves. That at least is the way an individual mind would approach things. On the other hand a group minded person seems to be persuading others since they offer supporting reasons for their view while attacking with an ad hominem a story no one could seriously believe with a straight face.

I viewed a stark example of this on television. It began with a member of the reviled party detailing amendments he was suggesting so a member of the imposing party so as to gain their support. This extended effort, explaining fine points and whatnot, was then turned over to a member of the imposing party for his chance to respond. Quickly he spoke with great urgency,
  you are holding a gun to the head of our children! 

This was immediately accepted right on the spot and the scene shifted sharply to a commercial.
