text: The current cult like nature of the Conservative movement is taking us down roads that are dangerously unknowable. When opinion, facts and nonsense are conflated to have equal value
  and outright lies are justified by labeling them as ‘post truth,’ we are entering a period of societal devolution.
  
  When Conservative true believers are unable to make a distinction between facts, evidence and fake news we are witnessing the breakdown of democracy because democracy cannot exist without an informed citizenry. We are living in a period of civic illiteracy caused by the so called truth tellers in Conservative media.
