Trying to frame empathy as pushing an agenda is quite something when you consider that the only real reason that doubt existed was because of a need to push an agenda in the first place.
"were sceptical for no solid reason other than they didn't like how the story framed a trump supporter"

"others chose to believe him because that's how the facts lined up in that moment"



"They doubted him PURELY because of their agenda"


Sorry but i cant answer you if you constantly claim to know exactly what everyone in the thread was doing and why - you dont
