Vibe elections in a post-truth society
By 
People who hold accurate views on crucial political questions that have empirically verifiable answers overwhelmingly vote for Democrats:
The Trump campaign’s central messages were
(1) The Biden-Harris administration had crashed the economy, which is why inflation is out of control, and nobody can afford anything any more.
(2) Violent crime is out of control, because Marxist Liberals won’t let the cops do their jobs any more
(3) We are being invaded by millions of criminals from south of the border, because Marxist Liberals have an Open Border policy.
(4) Real Americans can’t get jobs any more because of (3). So “they” are taking your jobs as well as eating your pets.
All of this is objectively, demonstrably, unambiguously false. It’s not in the epistemological gray zone of culture war issues that don’t have empirically verifiable answers. It’s just round earth v. flat earth stuff.
I don’t have some clever program for what to do about this, but the fact that we live in a post-truth society seems like a big problem.
