As a political<br />candidate, I'll go with how **people feel**, and I'll<br />let you go with the theoreticians. . ."<br /><br />Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Republican National Convention (HBO)<br />LastWeekTonight<br />Jul 24, 2016<br />(6:54/11:31)<br /><br />Oliver: He just brought a feeling to a fucking fact fight.<br />And it's worth taking a moment to seriously consider what Gingrich<br />was saying there. I think we can all agree that candidates can<br />create feelings in people. And what Gingrich is saying is that<br />feelings are as valid as facts. So then, by the transitive property,<br />candidates can create facts. Which is terrifying, because that<br />means someone like Donald Trump can essentially create his own<br />reality, and that is the closest thing to an actual magic spell<br />I think I've ever seen. And if you're thinking, well, hold on,<br />eventually reality will set in because, if elected, Trump would<br />actually have to deal with facts -- well, I'm not so sure about<br />that. . .<br /><br /><br />Somehow, I don't think that George Lakoff would be all<br />that surprised.<br />jimfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975754342950063440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-71242557385475299282016-07-25T06:31:23.829-07:002016-07-25T06:31:23.829-07:00Hey, I didn't know that Antonio Sabato, Jr.
