First of all, it's important to bear in mind that fake screenshots can be made very easily. Web browsers have HTML editing features that mean you can temporarily change what articles and online posts say, and there are an abundance of photo editors that will happily help you change text in an image with just a few clicks.
Check the context
If you're dealing with a supposed screenshot of a post or article that's in the public domain, your first question should be why the original content was screengrabbed and not linked to directly. Even if people are posting screenshots for convenience, they should still be linking back to the content they're referring to.
If there's no link back, see if you can find the original source yourself—look up the X account, the blog post, the Reddit thread, or whatever it is. If there's no sign of it, that's another reason to be suspicious. Posts can always be deleted of course (the Wayback Machine can help here), but it's still worth investigating.

Have they made any official comment? Is there any background to how the screenshot was obtained? Is the screenshot from a trustworthy source (like a verified news organization)? This can all add to (or take away from) the credibility of an image.
Study the image
To try and hide these inconsistencies, fake screenshots will often be pixelated and of a low quality—this is something else to look out for. Genuine screenshots should be crisp and clear, and shouldn't look fuzzy or over-processed: Unless a screenshot has a reason for being poor in its quality and resolution, be wary.

Resources such as PolitiFact and Snopes can help in your screenshot debunking efforts, as can other detectives on social media and sites like Reddit (they might spot a problem with an image that you wouldn't otherwise see). Where images are involved, it's often worth using the TinEye reverse image search too.
Use a photo editor
Getting the questionable screenshot up in a photo editor of your choice can help you get a closer look at it, and possibly spot some of the mistakes its creator has made in choosing the right fonts and graphics, getting elements properly aligned with each other, and removing evidence of fakery. You can usually check image data in photo editors too (in Photoshop, it's File > File Info).
Photo metadata can sometimes reveal some secrets.
