Long before we had the phrase “alternate facts”, we had the equally idiotic phrase “agree to disagree”.
No can do! Certain things are objectively either true or false, and in many instances saying “Let’s agree to disagree” is basically suggesting that one side’s verifiable facts are no more and no less valid than the other side’s unfounded conspiracy theories and fabrications.
There can be multiple opinions but there can only be one reality. Either gravity moves up or it moves down; and if 75% of the public were to be convinced that it moves up, it would mean that 75% of the public was wrong.
Either the economy is better under Biden than it was under his predecessor or it’s not.
Either the covid vaccines are safe and effective or they’re not.
Either Biden has an “open borders” policy or he doesn’t.
Either tax cuts for the wealthy have always stimulated the economy or they haven’t.
Either the United States was founded as a Christian nation or it wasn’t.
Stricter gun laws have either been effective in numerous countries or they haven’t.
The phrase “agree to disagree” either gives undeserved dignity to falsehoods or it doesn’t. Therefore, the phrase should either be annihilated or it shouldn’t.
