I think this is true.While I won't condone this type of behavior, it is a logical and somewhat-understandable extension when a large subset of Americans simply don't accept what are objective facts. The truth has never been as obfuscated as it is right now, today. At a certain point, after beating your head into a wall for years, someone may start to wonder if the "other side" is acting in bad faith, i.e. are "bad people". At a certain point it goes beyond the pale of a misunderstanding and into a fundamentally different world.
I'm not saying that's how I see it, but I can understand why people might see it that way.
I can also see how Trump's 'seeming' support for racists and white nationalists could make some people more judgmental when viewing a Trump supporter. These people might have difficulty in understanding that many Republican's support Trump for his policy.
