    Facts matter, truth matters

    The whole point is the obsession with facts leads to dems telling lies that they’ve tortured into being technically factual. This is fact telling that is anti-truth. And normal peopoe know they’re being lied to.

    we would be even further down the road to Idiocracy, which ofc looks more like a future-documentary every day.

    Dems and their supporters live outside of reality just as republicans do. Liberalism and all of its tendancies is fundementally ungrounded in reality so it should come as no surprise. I’ll leave aside that you’re one of those “Idiocracy is a documentary” people to focus on this because its more important.

    Dems and their supporters believe in a litany of factually incorrect and untrue things. Dem supporters deny that they are genocide supporters. Dem supporters call what we’re experiencing a “vibesession.” Dem supporters don’t care that Obama is a war criminal. Dem supporters have rehabilitated W and Cheney - the worst living war criminals on earth. Dem supporters believed Ukraine was beating the Russian Federation. Dem supporters deny Ukraine’s army is full of nazis. Dem supporters believe in Uighur genocide. They believe in double genocide theory and the black book of communism. They think Maduro is evil and that Guido was the rightful president of Venezuela. Dem supporters lionized literal nazi Nalvany. Dem supporting radlibs think “Nordic Socialism” is socialism for starters and that it works on anything but imperialist plunder. Dem supporters believe democracy will end if Trump is elected - but see no problem with him being allowed to run and/or not currently improsioned. Dem supporters don’t believe smol bean dem presidents can accomplish anything but Trump can literally becomeva dictator. Dem supporters believe that dems are blameless in Roe being overturned. Dem supporters believe “the parlimentarian said no” is a valid reason they can’t raise the federal minimum wage.
