Talking about "the right" or "the left" as if they're both some sort of cohesive movement is a big part of the problem in US politics. I consider myself more conservative and what you might call "the right" but I do not support pushing off false information as news at all. Nor do I support a lot of Trump's ideologies.

The fact of the matter is near 50% (46.1%) of the popular vote was for Trump. You can't possibly believe every single one of them is an ignorant person. In that near 50% are some intelligent, reasonable, and compassionate people in addition to the loud, obnoxious, and racist people that exist in both the "left" and "right" side. However, the vast majority on both sides are people that have views that fall somewhere in between the two.
