>> You can sometimes point to alternative interpretations of the same facts >> A fact, by definition, is not subject to interpretation. Of course facts are subject to interpretation. We have come through a years-long argument over whether masks save lives. There are two different interpretations (or more). You can always claim that isn't an "interpretation", that the facts show one thing or the other, but interpretation is what humans do with facts. But in real life, facts often boil down to statistical analyses - a 50% chance it is blue, and a 50% chance it is pink. To suggest all things are black or white is major failing of the hard left which I've discussed previously. It is necessary to create artificial borders to force categorization of facts in many instances. >> Conway's statement about alternative facts will go down in history as a milestone. Well, for the reckless left, yes. Clearly, in context, that was a polite way of making the point that there were no REAL facts. No one actually knew the numbers, there were two different, "alternative" sets of facts. There was no proof that either was right or was wrong.

Turning the concept of fact into mere opinion is a big chunk of the damage your bunch has done to our country. Facts are merely reality's opinions. And every opinion has equal weight.
