Icon It's becoming a major component of how the right perceives the world...no facts, no truth

Listen to this guy and the basic idea that he is espousing is that he does not know what truth nor facts are because he has no way to personally verify them. That is the rabbit hole. This means if someone puts forth any other theory or representation of an event he must interpret that as if it too could also be fact or truth.

So, we have an election, the votes are counted, we have totals BUT he did not personally count the votes therefore...he does not and can never know the outcome of the election. Hence he has full license to believe ANY theory put forth about the election and can just CHOOSE he one he most prefers or aligns with his world view. 

He is literally living in a world where there are no facts and no truth beyond the end of his nose. He can never go to all 50 states and do his own personal hand count of all the votes so he can never believe in the veracity of an election. He can choose to believe in the vote totals he likes and choose not to believe in the vote totals he does not like. 

This now applies across the spectrum for a man like this. If he can't personally verify it then he can choose not to believe it. Global warming? I went outside and it is cold, therefore there is no global warming. 

He calls QAnon a "truth movement" which is amusing since it is a movement based on there being no truths or facts...just beliefs. He tells people to look for the truth and then directs them to some idiot's youtube account to find it. 

This guy has been elected mayor! Seriously, what the fuck?
