But my father last night said, when I showed him the NY Times alert on my phone about the altered 'transcript', "Trump's gotta go".

Of course, then he started in on how Elizabeth Warren was going to raise everyone's taxes, but baby steps...

It's just like the 2016 election. Folks are not defending him, they let his egregious acts slide and say, "Well, at least he's not [Democrat of the moment].

Yovanovitch says Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland urged her to tweet her support of President Trump to help save her job.

I think you can be "unwilfully" but ridiculously ignorant in certain situations, of which "young professional athlete who is likely mentored by conservative leaning teammates" is near the top depending on how the information is filtered to you and how little you care to pick it up elsewhere.
