Elmo, he's a troll. A long-time, mentally unstable fraud who likes to create strawmen and then harp on one point where he thinks it gives him some sort of credibility. He feeds off of the conflict like a vampire feeds off of blood. If you ever knew someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder it becomes quite obvious. He has more screen names than you can shake a stick at.
As for the others, some mean well but are caught up in the web of cognitive dissonance. Their minds cannot allow them to believe that such high-level people are involved in something like this. It's almost as if their entire world would come crashing down on them if they let themselves see what is plainly obvious. There is a trail of breadcrumbs, miles long, and bright neon-lit signs but they can't accept it. They get attached to one political party or the other, one candidate of the other, one news station or the other, yet can't see that the Democrat and Republican parties are just doing a "good cop, bad cop" routine on them and everyone else.
It's like trying to convince your aging parents that they can pay their bills online, and they don't have to put a stamp on an envelope, write a check, and walk to the mailbox. They simply won't do it. The internet? "That's a new age scam, son. I'M not falling for that. Who told you could safely pay bills online, son? Wacky". They like their world the way it is. They don't want it disturbed. We just have to accept that. Give them a smile and a heartfelt wave as they meander down to that mailbox, envelope safe in hand and their electric bill statement and check safely headed to the trusty mailbox. They won't accept anything else.
You can't put new wine into old bottles. (A parable of Jesus. It is found at Matthew 9:14-17, Mark 2:18-22 and Luke 5:33-39.)
