2. I'm sure some of them are just so far in their bubble, that they actually believe Trump's lies

Look at the idiot who went to the pizza place in DC. That guy was so convinced that there was child abuse ring run out of it that he went there from North Carolina with a gun to save the kids. That's an awful lot of conviction for something so clearly wrong. Or the people who refuse to believe Obama was born in the US and wasn't a Kenyan Muslim communist. Sure some of them are really happy with the ugliness of the Trump administration, but part of the problem with the fracturing of sources of truth is some sources aren't accurate, but if that's all you consume, it's easy to get blinded by the lies.
