I make a case by case determination based on what info is out there, what I am able to observe, and the sum total of my life experiences. What I believe is true

  This has simply not been the case in recent years in the US, where there has been a concentrated and deliberate attack on the truth exclusively from the right, just look at any analysis on the unprecedented number of false statements (dare I say lies) from Trump. The whole argument also completely ignores the fact that pretty much everything of US politics is far right from the perspective of most other countries. So if the truth is in the middle, which middle is it?

I don't really mean to offend, but I think you've drunk so much of the leftwing coolaid in the US that you don't notice it anymore and consider it normal. Just try to analyze people like Don Lemon. The few clips I've seen of him are very partisan politics. Look at Time Magazine when they talked about border detention. The images used were there to paint a narrative. The US hasn't moved to the right politically at all recently. You're getting more government spending on social programs and you're getting a more liberal stance on many social issues such as gay marriage. If you still don't see it, then ask yourself this: how much has the religious right influenced politics recently? Because Bush cited religion as one of the reasons for war. It's clearly losing ground.
