Civility, Truth and the Future of American Democracy
As we reside increasingly in a post-factual and contextual democracy, the body politic is desensitized to fiction. The ubiquitous lies saturating politics today are a pervasive plague on discourse and governance. Social media proliferate clickbait, fake news and filter bubbles.
