Here in Europe, everywhere but the UK what Brexit did was force all Far-Right parties to stop with their anti-EU rethoric.
Maybe Trump and the consequences of his actions will have a similar effect around the US and possibly further out (I hope it screws the Far-Right around here that most apes American shit).
However, in the UK Brexit did nothing to tone down the nutty Far Right, quite the contrary.
Just because you and I are starting from the assumption that those headlines are true, doesn't mean Trump supporters start from the same assumptions.
Judging by political discussions I've had with some people (though not related to Trump), people commonly judge political leaders based on how they feel about them, i.e. the impression they have of them, and that feeds in to trusting or not what they say and what is said about them, all of which would explain why the sterotypical loudmoth populist who talks confidently has been historically very successful.
Judging by what I see even withing the small leftwing political party I'm a member of in my own country, even supposedly thinking people (i.e. well educated types) have a strong confirmation bias for the words of leaders they "feel" are trustworthy and against criticism of them, though the stereotype of leader that best works at making those specific people feel thus is different from the brash loudmouth sterotype of Trump.
Zooming back to Trump and the US, I would say that people who still support him have a strong feeling that he's a good leader and that feds into a heavy bias to trust his words and distrust the criticism that appears of him as politically motivated attacks.
I would even go as far as saying that in a World were most authoritative common sources (i.e the Press, many of whom often overtly gloat of being "Opinion Makers") take political sides and hence aren't implicitly trustworthy, I expect this mechanism of anchoring one's trust on an individual that feels right is much more commonly used than it would have been in a Media environment were the Press didn't take sides and tried to shape opinion.
IMHO, Trump and others like him are a symptom of the Press having been increasingly used for Propaganda in the last couple of decades (though there are other effects at play) and hence why you see such types have more success in countries were the Press has longer and deeper taken political sides.
That's a good point and I need to start considering that option in any future upgrades.
LOL!
Reduced to name calling.
Good try, shame you don't have the chops (as the way you express yourself gave away very early on)
I very explicitly said the whole thing is slower than the speed of light (much slower even) and even pointed out why: at the most basic of levels, the way charged particles push each other without contact is the electromagnetic force, meaning photons, but the actual particles still have to move and unlike photons they do have mass so the result is way slower than the speed of light.
To disprove the idea that a push on a solid object can travel faster than the speed of light (which is what the OP put forward), pointing out that at its most basic level the whole thing relies on actually photons which travel at the speed of light, will do it.
There was never any lower limit specified in my response because there is no need to go into that to disprove a theory about the upper limit being beyond a certain point. (Which makes that ironic statement of yours about the speed of sound-waves quite peculiar as it is mathematically and logically unrelated to what I wrote)
Going down into the complexity of the actual process, whilst interesting, isn't going to answer the OPs question in an accessible and reasonably short manner using language that most people can understand.
And how do you think the information that an electrically charged particle is moving reaches other electrically charged particles...
I reckon some people are naive to that specific kind of scammer, others are stupid, yet others don't trust the sources of that information that he's a "real estate grifter tax evader, and a reputation for stiffing contractors" and some might even think "yeah, but he won't do it to us" - so a mix of stupidity and wishful thinking.
As the saying goes (in reverse order) "You can't deceive everybody all of the time but you can deceive some people all of the time or all people some of the time".
I mean, even in real estate his grifter's grift was still working so there were still people falling for it.

Doublespeak and its use in Orwell's 1984 was amongst other things inspired by how the Fascists' main "argumentation" technique was twisting the meaning of words often so far beyond even the simplest logic that used one word to mean its opposite.
As it so happens around a decade ago there was period when they tried to make Graphics Cards more energy efficient rather than just more powerful, so for example the GTX 1050 Ti which came out in 2017 had a TDP of 75W.
Of course, people had to actually "sacrifice" themselves by not having 200 fps @ 4K in order to use a lower TDP card.
(Curiously your 300W GTX780 had all of 21% more performance than my 75W GTX1050 Ti).
Recently I upgraded my graphics card and again chose based on, amongst other things TDP, and my new one (whose model I don't remember right now) has a TDP of 120W (I looked really hard and you can't find anything decent with a 75W TDP) and, of course, it will never give me top of the range performance when playing games (as it so happens it's mostly Terraria at the moment, so "top of the range" graphics performance would be an incredible waste for it) as I could get from something 4x the price and power consumption.
When I was looking around for that upgrade there were lots of higher performance cards around the 250W TDP mark.
All this to say that people chosing 300W+ cards can only blame themselves for having deprioritized power consumption so much in their choice often to the point of running a space heater with jet-engine-level noise from their cooling fans in order to get an extra performance bump that they can't actually notice on a blind test.
Well, I too think voting is a civic duty.
My point being that judging by the levels of voting abstention all over the World, many (probably most) people, don't think that.
You're pushing the atoms on your end, which in turn push the next atoms, which push the next ones and so on up to the atoms at the end of the rod which push the hand of your friend on the moon.
As it so happens the way the atoms push each other is electromagnetism, in other words sending photons (same thing light is made of) to each other but these photons are not at visible wavelengths so you don't see them as light.
So pushing the rod is just sending a wave down the rod of atoms pushing each other with the gaps between atoms being bridged using photons, so it will never be faster than the speed at which photons can travel in vacuum (it's actually slower because part of the movement of that wave is not the lightspeed-travelling photons bridging the gaps between atoms but the actual atoms moving and atoms have mass so they cannot travel as fast as the speed of light).
In normal day to day life the rods are far too short for us to notice the delay between the pushing the rod on one end and the rod pushing something on the other end.
I've been working on a survival/RTS game and it's funny that even though the game development framework I'm using (Unity) tends to push you to put most of the code on the visual objects level and that was my original approach, over time I've figured out the whole code is way cleaner and works better (in other words, the best architeture for that software) when almost all of the game is really just a Data layer being manipulated by the player and a separated View layer for the players to visualized it in a nice way - basically a Model-View Controller Architecture, same as you'll find in systems were a server-side application has web and/or smart app UIs.
That said, I have the impression that something like an FPS is a lot less data-driven than an RTS because things like the 3D models that make up the world are a lot more important for data decisions (has the bullet hit an object, can the player move to this position). You can still say that stuff is data (3D models are data, specifically collections of vertices in 3D space with some additional information attached), but model data is generally way more visualization-oriented than what one could metaphorically call a "database".
