Trump really did expose a deep flaw in America's epistemology. As a country, we're just not very good at examining how the truths we believe are actually true.

I am not sure that any society is adept at collective self reflection.
@LSWellesley true, but from QAnon, to religions, to antivax, and climate denial, I'm not aware of another country that accords so many unsubstantiated beliefs the same credence as verifiable facts.
@mcfate @LSWellesley allow me to demonstrate. None of the countries you've listed have a main opposition party where 70% of registered party members don't believe the election that led to their current political settlement was legitimate.
I'm sure I could find plenty more.
@mcfate @LSWellesley can you indicate what criteria you're applying to reference Guatemala as a developed country?
Oh, for heaven's sake.
I was expecting you to quibble about the 70%.
This is a silly waste of time, I'm muting it.
@stuartblair @LSWellesley
I'd like to distinguish between "do not believe" and "CLAIM not to believe".
People-in-general are every bit as credulous and dumb in other countries as they are in the US.
