Facts remain facts. Brie, as one would expect from a truly dogmatic progressive, relies on obfuscation. It is a long standing modus operandi of the faithful progressives. Their "truths" demand adherence to self generated proclamations in lieu of accepting inconvenient facts.

It think what you write describes most ideologies. Any fact worth its salt is going to be inconvenient, right? Is not the truth usually sort of gritty? When you want to put something over on someone, does that not involve a certain amount of smoothing off?

I disagree that "Any fact worth its salt is going to be inconvenient". A fact, by definition, is based on a verifiable occurrence. It would be very convenient to one or the other side of any disagreement. Refusal to acknowledge and accept facts, to form opinions by individuals, is a glaring indicator of a true ideologue. Self delusion is rationalized as the end justifies the means. Obfuscation by proclamation is not smoothing off the grittiness. It is commonly known as lying and fabrication.
