    WTF does it matter what the truth is? The SC doesn’t. Trump doesn’t. The Justice Department doesn’t. Republicans don’t. If you’re only fighting with facts, you’re probably losing. Using facts assumes the system values truth.

      Using facts assumes the system values truth.

      No such assumption is being made. I’m fully aware “the system” you’re talking about (the institutions of some maize dictatorship) give no flying fucks about the truth. However, anyone with a shred of dignity does.

      So it’s easier to claim higher moral ground and gather support when speaking the truth. And from people who can actually change something; post-modernist “chruth is relarive lol” and “it’s all a narrarive lmao” braindead muppets are delusional dead weight, they can’t do shit properly.

      The truth also allows you to dig up more shit later on. Bullshit, assumptions and lies only go so far.

      Plus it isn’t like you need to make shit up about Trump to portrait him as… well, a delusional sociopath, meat puppet of whoever praises him, easy to manipulate due to his small brain and big ego.
