Because that ' s what divisive hyperparetisanship does . We stand at the end of months of clearcut unuanced political divide of news stations driving just about any major Trump supporter off of non proTrump news outlets and the other side ' s proclivity to drop blanket statements that all Trump supporters are racist human garbage closing their ears to the arguments and consul of people outside their number . Frankly I suspect a huge swath of Trump supports either simply don ' t hear about things like this or if they do , reflexively resist recognizing it for what it is because they have become so used to arguing with the opposition who has been hellbent on demonizing them . This is why alienating or condemning people as a debate tactic doesn ' t work you just build an us versus them paradigm where they stop actually listening to you . And no this is not a onesided issue hyperpartisanship takes two to tango and sadly has become the norm on both sides of the political spectrum . But during this campaign there has been a particular push to target Trump ' s supporters as much as trump himself which I suspect has rendered them a particularly insular group that all get their news from the same sources .
