Also, I'm pretty sure you don't know your president personally, so it is
technically a fallacy to say "he is a good man." Perhaps you surmise
from his actions (or the second-hand, imperfect, reports of such
actions) that he has qualities you admire? The problem, of course, is
that just as many people could come to the opposite determination of the
president being a "bad man" by the very same actions. I mean, how does
one know if they are the one being brain-washed or not?

Is saying bad things about people you don't know morally equivalent to
saying good things about them? Some people believe that if it is
repeated often enough and long enough, it will become so.

I'm also puzzled why one would espouse total support of a
"Commander-in-Chief" simply because he is "the Chief."

The not-so clvr mnky might consider that to those for whom the current
Commander-in-Chief is Commander-in-Chief, it's pretty clear whose side
he is on.
