So many people think that whatever happens under the current president, as reported by the media, is their sole fault. This is why we have the liberals at brunch meme because the reporting on the border and other issues is much more positively phrased when Democrats are in power so they assume no changes are needed. Then the reporting changes when a Republican is in office and they get mad over the same issues.
I think people are afraid to think for themselves about what's going on, they just want the algorithm to serve them their opinion. This is probably why propaganda and sponsored content are so effective.
