I understand “facts” to be statements or information accepted as or proven to be true and accurate beyond doubt. So I have a difficult time understanding how I can be presented two sets of “facts” which could hardly be more opposite. So whose facts are true and accurate and how do I decide whose facts to believe?
I choose, as I’m sure most do, to believe those that align more closely with my own beliefs and opinions. Now I believe people are only going to accept information from sources they believe in. Therefore, most people are not likely to encounter information that might change their opinions.
I believe it is a “fact” that our education system is controlled, beginning to end by people with a liberal bent (or who are absolute liberal radicals) who help to form the beliefs and opinions of people from preschool to P.H.D. And in today’s culture, social media plays a role in developing beliefs and opinions which also leans left. I fear, therefore, that conservatives are quickly becoming outnumbered, which I fear will end this great nation. Some nations have been overpowered by others but most have died of internal rot. Consider the Roman Empire.
If you doubt me, I ask you to consider young Alexandra Ocasio Cortez and her supporters and what she wants to introduce into our government!
