i think it comes down to difference in sources of the information, rather than difference of interpretation. These days people rarely form an opinion of their own, it's mostly a sort of digest of media they consume. The assumptions can almost always be traced to some "fact" they believe to be true. And facts are easy to fake. A good example is this recent Reddit thread based entirely on false "facts" promoted by the media, but believed to be true by significant chunk of the US population https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalHumor/comments/px9vr2/bless_their_fascist_little_hearts/ https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalHumor/comments/px9vr2/bles... So the debate can often be reduced to something as basic as difference in sources you trust, rather than semantics.
