A failed nation is marked when truth is discarded and replaced with untruth.

The commanding control of truth is historically recognized:
- Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed (Friedrich Nietzsche).
- When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear (Thomas Sowell).
- The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it (George Orwell).
- Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world…would do this, it would change the earth (William Faulkner).
- All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them (Galileo Galilei).
But, remember the bitterness that untruth displays. There is an utter contempt for truth. Those speaking untruth embrace ignorance and folly. These are rancid in their slander and libel. “No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth” (
Plato).

“
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
Absolute truth is inescapable and invincible. Let the purveyors of untruth feel secure in their lies.
But they trust only in their own imaginations! The inescapable truth—they will be exposed as fools and their folly will be recorded alongside the fools throughout history!
Commentary:
I'll add one to the list of untruths in the article: A 50-year swamp rat with zero accomplishments stayed in his basement, never campaigned nor attracted more than 100 people to any event, was seen in dozens of videos molesting children and credibly accused of rape, was highly unpopular during the primaries, had a son on video tape doing drugs and sleeping with minors, and used his position in govt to enrich himself and family members, received the most votes for president in the history of the country.
Meanwhile, The Truth is plainly evident for all to see that Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat-run cities are destroying themselves and the people who have the means are fleeing them for better situations. There is no indication that this wave of immigration will abate anytime soon. Those are indisputable facts, not opinions.
