Living in a Post-Fact Society

Thus we find ourselves being governed by hateful idiots who make horrific policy decisions. In fact, one such politician became the most powerful person on Earth, and is still wreaking havoc in our world.
As Chris Wallace (of, believe it or not, Fox News) points out, “Americans are no longer discussing policy; they’re arguing about facts.”
I hate to sound cynical, but I need help understanding how to re-insert facts once they’ve gone missing.
