The Fire You Can't Put Out

To Win, By Losing: Out of great adversity, comes great opportunity. One just needs to realize it. Post-Truth was the Oxford Dictionary's word of the year. Post-Truth refers to confirmation bias, which is where you believe things not based on objective truth, but instead on preconceived personal narratives and emotions. The Post-Truth America, is also the fake news America. And nobody can tell, what the truth is. We need to learn to adapt, and communicate accordingly. This will eventually allow us to return to a time, when only the absolute truth matters. There will be no "both sides". Only one side; The Truth. The whole truth, and nothing but.

Also, don't argue with your friends and family about politics, over Thanksgiving and and Xmas. Honestly, no one wins. Just don't do it. However if you decide to not heed my warning, then let me help you knock down some dumb, right-wing, talking points.
