David Roberts: “People lament the ‘post-truth’ era we’re living in. Misinformation. Epistemic bubbles. Algorithmic distortions. Etc. But I need people to understand that we really haven’t seen anything yet. Though we take them for granted and they’ve seen better days we still have largely functioning information-producing institutions. We still have something approximating a handle on what’s happening around us.”
“All of that goes away under Trump – any vestigial connection to objective reality. Then everything is propaganda.”
