Living in a Post-Fact Society
I envy people who can press on in life without feeling the weight of living among people who readily accept complete garbage as truth. The problem, of course, is that they vote, and elect people who make the outrageous claims that these gullible fools eat with a fork and spoon.
Thus we find ourselves being governed by hateful idiots who make horrific policy decisions. In fact, one such politician became the most powerful person on Earth, and is still wreaking havoc in our world.
As Chris Wallace (of, believe it or not, Fox News) points out, “Americans are no longer discussing policy; they’re arguing about facts.”
I hate to sound cynical, but I need help understanding how to re-insert facts once they’ve gone missing.
