Thats the thing about misinformation/disinformation, they’re made to believe he didn’t rape anyone and that it’s all a “witch hunt.” These people think he’s gods gift to the earth and that everything he does is correct, that the only arguments against him are lies made by people who want him to be stopped. If they knew it as fact and still voted for him, then yeah they’re garbage people for sure.
My father for example, I cannot get one single thing through his head if fox news or Newsmax didn’t say it. He still believes they never deport anyone who isn’t a violent criminal. Any article I could show him that says otherwise is “a lie.” He’s brainwashed to believe Republicans are the saviours, the Democrats are the ultimate evil, and the media is largely behind protecting Democrats by lying about everything… :(
It’s definitely frustrating. He’s one of those “I’m always right” types and the propaganda is just confirmation bias for him, so if it reenforces something he already wants to believe. It’s “I’m right, and they back it up with their “facts” on Fox, so obviously it’s correct.”
Honestly most of us live in a mirror reality. We see “them” as misinformed and brainwashed, and they see us in exactly the same way. He won’t believe me because he believes I’m just misinformed.

That’s tough. I would be devastated if my parents chose to believe some propaganda ‘news’ channel over what the sons they raised had to say.
