Because that's exactly what Trump supporters do: don't think critically, just blindly, loyally assume the opposition must always be incorrect.

It's not about supporting him or not, it has nothing to do with that. It's about seeing through objectively false posts (often posted for money, attention, or simply from gut feelings) and people cheering them on, which is exactly what has empowered Trump and given his supporters something to point to painting them as victims of lies.

You should set aside any thought about Trump and look at the material first. That's critical thinking, in a nutshell.

Or you can play the engagement hate game that got that man into office.
