I think there are two factors at play

1. The socials tend to give you more of what you like and have clicked on to maximise engagement so the orange fat man fans only see the positive stories.

2. Confirmation bias. No one likes to be exposed to things contrary to what they believe, so they reject the info rather that suffer the cognitive dissonance. Thus they reject the 34 felonies and all the other stuff and the orange man even gave them a mental tool. Fake News.

Trouble is, more and more news will be fake as the days roll on. So declaring news fake is the safest option. Trouble is fake news will be accepted as real if it supports one's beliefs.

This means we are not free of the orange man yet. He'll need to tip off his maccas perch for us to be properly rid of him. And the fascist racist agenda has been brought out into the open so the power vac may put another equally bad orange man equiv in the seat.
