Those two aren't mutually exclusive. Something can be both an unpopular opinion and blatantly false. For example; Biden lost the election is both blatantly false and an unpopular opinion since it's believed anyways. An apolitical example is someone thinking that having a 7 and a 2 is a good hand in poker. It objectively isn't since it has lower odds of winning than other hands, but some people aren't exactly aware of those things. Also, I think that the word opinion implies that the content is inherently subjective. I wouldn't ask someone's opinion on the solution of a math problem if that makes sense. You should stick with the word views since if doesn't necessarily have to be realistic and is consistent with their tone.
