The real problem right now is if you say anything that identifies you as being in someone's [Wrong side], they will attack your livelihood and send you death threats and tell you you're voting for Hitler (yes, many on the right saw Hillary as Hitler, so this works both directions).
We have a society that has been taught:
0) Truth is bad, honesty is a sin
1) Intellectualism is bad
2) Your feelings are as valid as facts
3) [Wrong side] are actually evil
4) [Wrong think] is as bad as murder/rape
5) Do whatever is required given the above
Lawlessness, riots, class struggle, fake news. It all seems a logical extension of what we're being taught.
Point 0 above might seem a little odd to you. So ask yourself: what is the dominant mode of communication in society today? Get up, walk around, observe who is telling you what. Remember, billboards, magazines, TV, salesmen, politicians all count.
Also, ask yourself how long anyone's political career (or even just regular old career) would last if they were honest and truthful 100% of the time?
