Some of them believe the Bowling Green massacre actually happened and the media wouldn't report it.
I know, but think (hope) that's a relatively small percentage of the population.
The Trump administration's insistence that unfavorable real news/facts = fake news, and utter bullshit which supports Trump's agenda = real news/facts........is pretty transparent and seems to be wearing thin for rational Trump supporters.
Have you seen footage at some of the town halls with Republican politicians and their constituents across the country? People are showing up and making it very very clear that they're pissed off about the Trump/GOP pledge to repeal ACA/Obamacare for so long without having a replacement plan or draft. They don't want to lose something better than they had before Obamacare and are calling out the inaction and lies some of their reps have been floating.
Those public call-outs by their constituents appear to be making an impact on the GOP. Trump said he'd rip up Obamacare on his first day in office. Didn't happen. Then, he and his reps said it would be repealed and replaced in his first 100 days. That's been walked back. Now, I'm starting to hear Republican politicians talking about "repairing' the Affordable Care Act instead of repealing and replacing it.
It's kind of interesting how the Tea Party grew largely out of similar town hall call-outs by anti-Obama Republicans who objected to the implementation of the ACA. 360.
