The post-truth era
I heard this phrase for the 1st time tonight, and it really struck me. This is where we're at. There is no more apt description of the kind of world we live in right now.
We have a President-Elect who is a pathological liar. Let's all get that out there right now - I'm tired of people tapdancing around that one.
We have fake news, which millions now seem to adhere to. To get back to the President-Elect, we have a new leader who actually cites fake news as fact.
We have the "real" media, which is biased every which way. Journalism as we knew it is almost gone.
Lies are celebrated, as long as they're effective & get the job done. People who value truth are chastised for taking things "literally."
And that, truly, is what can best be described as the post-truth era.
which is why it was sooooooo evil of you to trash hilary with the right wing lies asshole

funny how post-truth only gets brought up right after the public visibily loses trust in the liberal press and consumption of news from online sources and citizen blogs are at an all time high. And of course we have moves to silence all of those so the public is once again forced to rely only on the press for its opinion.

I posted about it a couple of weeks ago. This illuminating article will help you to understand the term. I would suggest that it describes perfectly how it works. I would further suggest that many things close to liberal hearts are in fact post-truths like CAGW and identity politics.

Pretty sure I heard this term a short while ago. I would have believed it the day Douchebag Donald & Crooked Hillary statistically became the inevitable party nominees.
"It [the draft] is duty rather than slavery. I part with the author on the caviler idea that individual freedom (whatever that may be to the person) leads to nirvana, anyone older that 12 knows that is BS."
-(Midcan5)
"Allow me to masturbate my patriotism furiously and publicly at this opportunity."
-(Ib1yysguy)
"There is no 'equal opportunity' today unless the government makes it so."
-(apple0154 )
"abortion is not killing Its birth control"
-(Desh)
dear evil fucking lying asshole
the lies were told about Hilary not by her fuckstain
fuck you very much

It took Trump to get you recognize this lol?
'Hands up don't shoot', 'if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor', Hillary, too many to list, the Benghazi attack was due to an anti-Muslim video five people watched and ad nauseum.
And has been mentioned, the progressive worldview relies on lies and misinformation to exist. Look at the mess they've made of gender by denying fundamental facts of biology. You are no longer the sum of your genes but what you 'self-identity' as. [ironically, a rejection of materialism]
And that becomes 'truth'. When you reject all of that you can bemoan Trump, until then your anti-Trump partisanship is showing.
dear fucking idiot lie bot
It was the video
that was the determination asshole

And until you denounce Douchebag Donald, you can't denounce Obama or Crooked Hillary without being a hypocrite.
Hilary didn't lie you fucktard
she was lied about asshole
