One side believes reality is optional. From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
the decoupling of the venn circles of consensus reality
minnesta governor tim walz is currently out describing the firing of jimmy kimmel as “north korea style stuff.”
leaving aside all the histrionics and stupidity and misframed misperception here, this is a truly dramatic volte face from the guy who so aggressively declaimed that
“there’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech”
to advocate censoring his opponents and detractors.
here are some receipts and a great take on the matter.

i diverge on one point here:
this is past “culture war” and into something altogether weirder and wilder.
this is a war for the actual nature of reality.
politicians like walz are making up facts, making up pretext, and making up history.
they and the media supporting them are creating an entirely false worldview to try and keep the last of their failing political faction together.
but each new lie puts more and more stress on the lies that came before and past a point, a false reality bubble bursts.
this is what is happening now.
Jonah Schimmel Jimmy Kimmel isn’t rated too big to fail or backed by a printing press as advertisers expect ROI.
The comrades can’t tell what a woman is on the way to the workers utopia.
Reality is not their strong suit as they are stuck on the ideas of a 19th century German Satanist bum.
