For me, the really disingenious thing about Holdo was that the film audience isn't expected to know her from a stormtrooper, and so of *course* the audience is going to side with the guy they know over some rando who looks like the understudy for that woman from The Hunger Games. Leia trusts her? Okay great, but Leia's judgement is not infallible. The audience has no reason to believe in her or trust in her, and her methodology of just telling everyone to shut up and listen to her or else is just layers of excuses to distrust piled on top of an already dubious pot of Idiot Plot soup. The whole thing is just a set up for the "GOTCHA!" of her sacrificing herself in a big SFX explosion. No in-universe explanation of her (in the film) really gives you a reason to say "Okay wait, maybe she knows what she's doing, or at least has the greater good in mind."
