I’m confused...

Yep, everything they don't like they can simply pass off as "fake news".

The most recent example with my family being drone strikes. During Obama's terms it was all "OMG WTF DRONE STRIKES! OMG WTF DRONE STRIKES! OMG WTF DRONE STRIKES!" and since Trump was elected I don't think I heard them say the word "drone" once.

I asked them about this, I showed them that drone strikes have actually increased under Trump and that he actually canceled an Obama-era policy that reports done strike deaths but it was instantly and flatly disregarded as "fake news". There's no penetrating this. No amount of proof will convince these people of anything they don't like.
