Cambridge Dictionary definition of post-truth: "Relating to a situation in which people are more likely to accept an argument based on their emotions and beliefs, rather than one based on facts."

Post-truth politics is "a sustained assault on the very notion of fact-based evidence and objective truth." A tactic used by authoritarians to control information so they can control the people, not only to corrupt their belief in a specific thing, but to undermine the idea that people can even determine what the truth is.

Troy Nehls?

"Nehls moved to Fort Bend County, Texas, in 1994, and joined the police department of Richmond, Texas.[5] In 1998, he was fired for reasons including destruction of evidence."[6]
