Fighting to be right, not fighting for Truth

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”

—Isaac Asimov

The ignorance has never been as demonstrable on GLP as it has been in the last six months. People have become angrier, the rise of rage against anyone who is not a trump supporting god fearing alpha male dominionist has been astonishing. Truth is irrelevant here anymore. It's about being right, regardless of facts and Truth.

Has anyone else noticed this trend?
