I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this phrase or not, but since I’m clearing out my notes…we are now in the Political Era of Anecdotes—where people only care about the things in their immediate life and only believe the things their friends tell them. “The protestors are violent,” & “Chicago is a war zone run by gangs.” These things just aren’t reality, but if they hear it enough as random anecdotes, it becomes their truth.
