Trump’s Most Malicious Legacy
The outgoing president leaves
a nihilistic political culture, one that is tribalistic, distrustful, and
sometimes delusional, swimming in conspiracy theories.
The result is that Americans
are disoriented and frustrated, fearful of and often enraged at one another.
. . . aided by social media
and capitalizing on “truth decay” and diminishing trust in sources of factual
information
we live in an era defined by
epistemic chaos and noetic disarray, one in which
a large portion of the population
embraces falsehoods and fairy tales and thinks of them as “alternative
facts.” ~ Atlantic
