People talking about politics always try to make their opponents appear unreasonable. You surely can't be complaining about normal people grouping together and promoting the ideas they believe in, can you? The alternative would be censorship of all political dissent, and suppression of citizens talking about opposition political parties. It would be non-democracy.
Your last paragraph about science could be about all sorts of groups but it sounds like you have your personal political enemy in mind. You could be describing Muslims who are opposed to science's revelation that women are as smart as men. Or it could be about liberals who are opposed to science's revelation that the smartest men are smarter than the smartest women (male IQ has a higher standard deviation than female). Or is about feminists who are trying to suppress science that shows that women aren't as hard-working as men? Or is it about transgender activists who are trying to suppress science showing that women are not men? I wouldn't want to censor any of these people. Who am I to say what the one true truth really is for all time? Even science doesn't know that.
What I really think the GP meant, but didn't say because when you actually write it down, it sounds ridiculous, was a conspiracy theory like "Putin wants to destroy America so he supported fake news to get Trump elected and since Trump is obviously bad, he'll destroy America.". As far as I can tell, that's what the opposition to fake news is all about - Trump winning the election. That's certainly when it started anyway.
