I'm a statistician and data scientist some days, and other days a trail runner and adventurer. I look for the good in people and observe how they treat others.

He actually RAN ALONGSIDE the car so he could KEEP SHOOTING THE DRIVER as she pulled away.
That's the difference between "oh shit I panicked for an instant" and willful, pathological murder.

I don't want to pretend we ever lived in an "era of truth"("Gulf of Tonkin attack"?JFK's non-existent "missile gap"?Reagan's "Welfare Queen"?) but clearly it's far worse than ever now.One wonders if there's a survivable level of lies the system can still function with vs a "critical mass" amount.
And there is your point. The problem is not Trump. The problem is not his followers. The problem is a concerted effort to destroy the concept of truth.
