Oh c'mon. The average democrat or republican voter isn't a postmodernist.

Americans just believe anything they read on facebook. Don't over complicate this.

The falsehood that Hillary only won 57 counties has been posted on this board probably 100 times in the past week, for example.

The problem is that no one fact checks.

Just because they don't know a dictionary definition of postmodernism doesn't mean they haven't been profoundly influenced by the philosophy. "You have your facts, I have mine" is postmodernism. Derrida would be smiling.

Call if what you want. I won't further debate your definition of post modernism.

The point is that American voters don't fact check, and both candidates took advantage of that.
