Not just you. I see it too.

A lot of his campaign rhetoric is positive language to engage a segment of the population turned off by cynicism. Nothing special, but for a lot of people that makes the whole difference. Politics, especially federal politics has devolved into shouting down others positions as opposed to advancing one's own position. To a lot of people changing things up makes them feel better about politics. I can only imagine to someone who's bought in, it must seem like a total buzzkill to have someone bring up a cynical point like yours and thus they're willing to stridently defend against that.
