Had to compress my comments, talking on a local site to a guy bloviating all the standard "conservative" talking points and attitudes.
Rather liked that the short-form comment seemed to get to the point (better than I usually do):

Bob: did you notice I strongly recommended, above, a belief in "objective truth" ?
If so, you can see why you're wrong-footed from your first statement, that "there [are} facts and there are Liberal facts." Objective truth is, by definition, the same for everyone: and not under the control of any faction.
No, Bob: there are facts, and there are lies (or as "conservatives" like to call them, "ALTERNATIVE facts").
Reality is what it is: not what ANY human being ("liberal" or "conservative," since those seem to be the poles of your worldview) wants to conjure it.
To live in objective reality, you have to admit it exists; and you have to acknowledge reality is sovereign to your personal interpretation of it.
Those who aren't God, but want to believe reality is their own creation, really REALLY need to repent.
