1. Saying your fundamental argument is right when you’ve totally mangled the facts you used to reach the conclusion of that argument is, at the base, wrong.
2. Dismissing a series of falsehoods on which an individual built a career as a no-nevermind because that person could have, with only little effort, clearly documented his fiction as reality is, at the base, wrong.
And one more:
3. That we have people looking at these two things and saying “You know what? Getting the facts wrong and telling lies about true things is okay, because the end justifies the means” is, at the base, incredibly wrong.
What’s happened in the Trump Era is that one party’s president disregards the truth as irrelevant to reality.
What’s also happened is that hyperpartisans for both American parties have revealed that’s been their thinking all along.
Both the Republican and the Democrat parties have proved to me, in the last few years, that both are bankrupt. The first has revealed it no longer cares about morality. The second has proved that the motto “When they go low, we go high,” is only a collection of words surrounded by quotation marks.
Off to better things, says I.
I don't disagree with what's being said in the articles, by the way. But the comments. They're absolutely toxic for anyone who expects a certain party to be upholders of truth and morality at the moment we have an Oompa Loompa in the White House.
