REALITY STAYS REALITY

Reality remains completely unchanged by denial, by ideology, by fake news or by repetition.  Bumper stickers or clever slogans won't do it either  

Call reality a lie and it will remain reality no matter the number of times it is called untrue.  No matter the number of times global warming is called a Chinese hoax, sea levels will continue to rise.  Call evolution a lie, and microbes will, nevertheless continue to evolve, oblivious to a contrary opinion.

Fixing the facts to the ideology, doesn't change the facts an iota, or make a whit of difference to the eventual outcome.
