The right wing propaganda machine is full of people who are in complete agreement that they are right and good, democrats are wrong and evil, Donnie is the greatest ever, and anyone who disagrees is unpatriotic and American.

We understand it's all a coordinated lie, but they hear it from multiple sources who are seen utterly convinced they are all right, so of course people fall for it.

It's hard to believe that could all be a massive lie... unless you start hearing, repeatedly, that they are lying and they were lying the whole time.
