You are being a bit too harsh here imho. It really depends on their age at the time. If they were late teens early 20s, I don't fault them for listening to people like Steven Colbert and other celebrities giving them "facts" about politics. I was a kid during the Reagan years and Mtv brainwashed me really nicely into believing Reagan was a moron who was going to start WWIII. I supported Clinton the first time around because I really wasn't informed, just brainwashed.
By the time Clinton was up for re-election I had grown up some and realized how stupid I had been. I went back and learned all I could about Reagan and until Trump came along I considered him the greatest president I would ever see in my lifetime.
So, try not to be too harsh on the kids. Remember it is even worse now for them. They are indoctrinated by the media and the education system. It takes a lot of honesty and research to break out of that mold.

Many don't discover MSM lies until well past their 30's.
