And nothing but.

Republicans going around in circles . . . impeachment hearings, must be true, don't need no stinkin' evidence!

Alternative reality doesn't need facts. They are a trivial inconvenience!

And if someone bugs you enough for 'facts', just make some up.

Stir up enough outrage, and facts become inconsequential. Right, Fox?

We all live in a yellow submarine - look out the portholes, and see whatever you want . . . or something.

The veil of delusion is strong for some.
Republicans mostly, Democrats try to stay connected to reality.
Somebody has to. It's important.
