    Doesn’t matter - dems lost because people are constantly hearing the right’s narrative over and over and over again, reinforcing the idea that it’s reality.

    It reminds me of how the majority of Americans thought the ACA was actually called Obamacare by Obama because he must be so vain, but now it’s on a massive scale.

    We live in a world where people get to choose what is real and what is fake, and that choice is largely based on which idea is more entertaining, more emotionally satisfying to them. The right is capitalizing on this and the left is being left devastated.

    The popular quote used to be ‘reality has a well-known liberal bias’. Well, now reality is whatever makes me feel angriest or scaredest and that has a well known conservative bias.
