Your words were dismissive of union members whose opinions differ than your own (they're less educated and missing the bigger picture, incapable of evaluating anti-union FUD on their own).

Don't be disingenuous, "they don't know what's best for them the way I do" is a very fair representation of your words. Maybe you do? If you're going to take that position, own it.

It's easy to read tw04's original comment and focus entirely on the "less educated" part, but tw04's point still stands without that — union workers can and will be affected by opposition arguments, and therefore we can't ignore that when analyzing declines in union membership.

In my opinion what's disingenuous is to ignore the main point in favor of picking some nit.

"My interpretation is objective reality, but your interpretation is dumb". How about don't be an asshole, man?

"Propaganda works" is a fact, it's not being patronizing.
