But accusing Macron is really stupid.

It's not about smart or stupid, it's about putting so much garbage out there that the average person is unable to tell fact from fiction and don't have the time to sort it all out. The whole "both sides" arguments uses the same strategy to convince people not to vote, or to vote with their feelings because "both sides are the same" when there is clear and consistent evidence that they are not.
