It's called Gaslighting. They want to pretend they are the patriotic ones and everyone else is a shill, fake news ect..ect.. Their entire objective to to distort reality and the truth by cherry picking tiny details to use as defense of their arguments..
A simple form of this is when talking about Global Warming.. they will claim, well it snowed list night so it must be fake. They don't even understand the basic science behind it so instead of educating themselves they use manipulate augments to try and proclaim they were right all along.
See that's their problem.. Instead of being open to new ideas or truths. They instead predetermine what they want the truth to be. Once they've done that they just run around cherry picking this or that to claim they were right all the long. Doesn't matter what evidence shows, they will grasp at tiny straws to claim they were right..
They do this enough to the point they convince themselves of their own lies and attempt to seed doubt on the truth to others who might not be 100% convinced.
If they can't come up with anything to cherry pick they attack the person to discredit them in that manner or they will outright lie.
It's why I no longer attempt to debate them because they are not honestly trying to debate you but rather just waiting for opportunity to pick apart some little detail in a argument then claim everything was wrong..
It's why I give absolutely zero respect to Robbie as example because that's his entire mentality.. He is a stereotypical gasslighter, he wont debate the topic, just picks some random little part to try and show doubt in then claims everything is wrong..
