I strongly disagree. "Univeral" seems to imply "everybody" of "all
ideologies." I think complete dismissal of facts is far, far more common
on the right.

What's more common universally is to disagree on the relative importance
of various bits of data. And there were long periods in U.S. history
when that was the main subject of disputes - which data set is more
significant? Which facts should get more attention? Which issues are
more important?

We're far beyond that now, at least with the right wing. Once a Trump
administration invented "alternative facts" verifiable data went out the
window. The right now has a strong tendency to blatantly invent "facts"
to justify its ideas. Vance essentially confessed to that, regarding
small town Ohio pets being eaten by immigrants, claiming it was OK to
"create stories" - IOW, outright lie. Musk is "finding" billions and
billions of dollars of fraud that regularly disappears whenever anyone
else looks into the details.

Your efforts today are less blatant, but related: "Here's _one_ glacier
that grew, so we should ignore the immense worldwide shrinking of almost
all glaciers." And "Land here is slowly sinking, so we should ignore
worldwide satellite measurements showing oceans rising."

I recall hearing that Joe Biden is so sharp that his staff can't keep
up with him.  That Trump went to Russia and had women pee on him. That
there was choice but to pack up and leave Afghanistan the way it was
done.  That there was no way to close the border without Congressional
action. That Hunter Biden would not be pardoned. (etc)

Both sides lie. Both sides make up "Facts." Both sides fund their pet
projects. Both sides are crooks.
