Yes, we're definitely in a "post-truth" era these days. It is incredible to me how many people remain convinced that widespread voter fraud happened in 2020 and is the reason Trump lost. More than 60 courts, some of them with Trump-appointed judges, threw out the frivilous lawsuits claiming that, and some of the lawyers were fined for bringing them. Multiple investigations and vote recounts, often overseen by Trump supporters looking for evidence of widespread fraud failed to uncover it. Bill Barr, until recently a Trump supporter, testified under oath that those claims were "bullshit" and that Trump knew that but didn't care what the "actual facts" were. Yet the Big Lie continues to spread, and politicians who embrace it get elected.
