I really despise the fake images and stories that get taken up and spread. Then they get called out and shown to be fake and people don’t care, they say pretty much what you see here:
I don’t care if it’s fake, it feels real, so I’m going to treat it like it’s real.
We've gone from alternative facts to alternative reality.

That last sentence isn’t even an exaggeration. I’ve seen that almost verbatim.
