I find that people tend to know just a little about things like this in general. It's the same with sports fans. They may know something about their chosen team, but really do not know a lot about the sport in general. I am painting with a broad brush here I realize.

I remember about 15 years ago or so when the Chicago Blackhawks started rocking and rolling. Many non-hockey fans jumped on the bandwagon and suddenly were lovers of the Hawks since birth...lol. Trump brought that out in a lot of people, and I'm sure Obama did as well. In my case, my ex-wife knew nothing of politics at all. Along comes Trump and she became his biggest supporter and viscously attacked Obama. According to her, Obama was responsible for 2 million deaths from "his virus" during his presidency.

For my sanity, I just walk away from these types of people as I cannot change them or even get them to think rationally on the subject. It's like having your car stuck in snow or mud. The more you try to step on the gas, the deeper in the rut your tires will be. And it's the same with these people. The more logic you try to give them, the deeper their belief in their cause will be.
