An underlying problem is that we really are moving into a dystopian, post-truth world. There's a huge part of the population that is less interested in facts, and more interested in sustaining a certain narrative.
It's really scary when you understand this point, because it's self-fulfilling. If enough people don't care about the truth and act accordingly, then facts actually don't matter and the belief, no matter how false, becomes the effective reality.
Where that can lead and who'll be leading us are the scariest parts.
