Are there any truths in politics?

[BidenPresident]

The lie functions not just to deceive, but to show that power matters more than truth.

That’s the epistemic threat to democracy from Big Lies and conspiracies. They actively undermine people’s willingness to adhere to a common set of “epistemic rules”—about what counts as evidence and what doesn’t. And that’s why responding to them matters: the more folks get away with them, the more gas is poured on the fires of knowledge polarization and toxic arrogance.

Nope, no truth. Only distortions.

[BidenPresident]

Nope, no truth. Only distortions.

How can there be distortions if there is no truth?

There are plenty of truths in politics which you learn about if you degree in political science.

b. 'Climate Change' is a Chinese Hoax.

The only real truth in politics is that there are a lot of ignorant, arrogant and outright stupid people out there.
