When Kellyanne started with her "alternative facts" bullshit when TFG first got into office, it literally scared me. I realized at the time they were just going to deny reality. Unfortunately, that worked for their supporters.

It also brought to mind a quote from Rove when W was in office;

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”
