   how deeply scarred our political life is

   We’re to the point where Thomas Jefferson could come back from the dead and   
   recite the Declaration of Independence. It would be decried as racist because   
   Jefferson was a slave-owner.   
      
   And then he’d have a milkshake thrown on him before being hauled off to jail   
   for spouting hate speech. Snopes would then ‘fact-check’ his words and   
   declare it ‘fake news.’   
      
   Facebook would ban people for sharing the video.   
      
   Because who says something today is far more important than what they said. In   
   today’s internet culture wrongthink is forever.   
      
   How far have we sunk in our political cynicism that founding tenets of what   
   we’re supposed to be fighting for are stifled because the wrong person   
   uttered them?
