Acme False Facts, Guaranteed 100 % Untrue, are fun. But the false facts that shape public opinion and public policy, they’re not so much fun.
We believe a lot of things that aren’t true. Believe? No–we know these things! Because someone told us. We heard it somewhere. Yeah, it was on NPR. Man-Made Climate Change. Systemic Racism. Things that other people made up.
Every time a truth is told, a Democrat breaks out in hives.
Maybe if there are enough hives, they might– just might, I say, begin to question what they “know” ya think?
Illusions are so much more comfortable than hard facts. But as a friend of mine used to say, “The truth is sometimes a hard rock to crash up against, but it keeps you from being washed out to sea.”
This was a friend, by the way, who helped me see the truth of Christianity. Rest her soul.
