My personal opinion: There is no inside-the-US view on that, it changes based on the filter bubble you and your peers live in. The party in power is still in power and did a pretty good job making it harder to find out what is an actual fact and what is an alternative fact, so it takes more time and willingness to verify any claim. Instead it comes down to perception, beliefs and tribe behavior.

The mere fact that a party strategy is based on "alternative facts" disqualifies it in my eyes. Even if they might be right on everything else, one just shouldn't use made-up lies to win arguments, or votes.
