There are idiots everywhere. I grew up in a small, very conservative town so many of the people I went to high school with are far right wingers and very religious. So, as you might expect, many of them thought Obama was a Muslim and a terrorist and was going to destroy the world.
One guy I went to school with posted a link to a story that showed a picture of Obama giving a speech. The story explained that Obama had removed the regular curtains that normally hung in this room in the White House and replaced them with a "Muslim prayer rug." My former classmates were up in arms about this and were calling for his impeachment. Two minutes on Google showed that the truth was those were curtains that were installed back when Rosevelt was President and they appeared in numerous pictures of every President since then.
When I pointed this out a few people actually admitted they were wrong, but there were some that insisted it was a prayer rug. My favorite response was the person that said, "Just because my opinion isn't correct, doesn't mean I'm wrong."
On the flip side, I now know liberals who truly believe that Trump has canceled Obamacare and that they are now going to not only have their health insurance taken away, but they will be fined for not buying health insurance, which makes no real sense.
