The First Post-Reality Political Campaign

Rightwing setting (w/ the likes of Douglas Murray or Dave Rubin), he will speak in very biased extreme and indulge in tropes.
This is all about audience capture and playing partisan games to serve patrons. #PostTruth world
Cartoon showing a giant radio in the shape of Donald Trump. His mouth is a large, blaring, speaker. Two knobs, placed where his cheeks should be, are labeled ‘Tuning’ and ‘Volume’ and are shaped like heads of Pinocchio, with long noses indicating the position of the knobs. The volume is set to max. A large dial sits in place of the eyes; a red tie from the needle showing the frequency. People with red caps on have gathered around the radio, listening intently. Other people are walking around with their fingers in their ears or holding their hands over their ears against the noise.

A painting by Gwabryel, based on H. P. Lovecraft's story The Call of Cthulhu. It shows a man with arms outstretched worshipping a very tall, black figure. To his left and right, victims are suspended upside down from gallows, and in front of the dark figure are several other, perhaps tormented figures.

To my delight, my hardcover first edition copy 1956 of #AlbertCamus #TheFall came in the mail today.
A quote for the messy post WW2 narrative of justice; and a quote for today's convoluted ideal of what is true & right.
This is why #literature matters
#posttruth #absurdism #philosophy #WorldBookDay
So, what ever happened to that #PostTruth era???
(According to Google, the era, “drawing widespread criticism and media scrutiny for prioritizing political narrative over verifiable evidence.”)
What became of that era?
I asked Google..
Here’s the response i received (split into two screenshots).

When this coalition embraced MAGA, they also embraced #PostTruth I don’t they care about being caught, nor do their supporters. They will literally look down a camera & lie

Why do I find it quite as depressing as I do that the Today Programme on BBC Radio 4 plays us the sound of geese and tells us it’s the sound of ducks?
