(15,423 posts)It's the effect of years of right-wing propaganda against her.
Their propaganda works, unfortunately.
Look at the percentage of Americans who believed that Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9/11 attacks before the invasion. It was a MAJORITY back then despite no such evidence!! NOW, when that false premise is no longer necessary to support their Republican leader, a large majority of Americans don't believe that Saddam was involved.
Look up a Pew Research poll from a few years ago about conspiracy theories. Very few Americans believe there was a vast conspiracy to fake the Moon landings, for example, yet a majority of Republicans (and too many Democrats) believe there's a vast conspiracy among climate scientists to promote global warming! Why? Because that's what they hear from the propagandists!
Look up a recent Gallup poll of how Americans feel about immigration as an "important issue" compared to years past. Now that Trump, and thus his right-wing propagandists, are talking about it as a major problem... many Americans think it's a major problem!
