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.
And both conversely and supportively: “An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
