Kelly Anne Conway deserves some credit when she came up with the phrase alternative facts. People like Trump just tell a lie and move on. It's gotten to the point where no one gives a damn anymore since you know it's a lie.

This is an excellent read about what happened to truth.

We live in a time when the very idea of objective truth is mocked and discounted by the occupants of the White House. Discredited conspiracy theories and ideologies have resurfaced, proven science is once more up for debate, and Russian propaganda floods our screens. The wisdom of the crowd has usurped research and expertise, and we are each left clinging to the beliefs that best confirm our biases.
