Homework Response Two

What I thought the article was saying was that trumps administration is accusing people of posting false facts about them on social media that are calling them out on their lies including the things they say they are going to do and what happening in the world right now. 

They respond by calling these lies alternative facts, but an alternative fact is different than a lie. A lie is a person voluntarily telling someone false information that cannot be backed up which is what much of what they’re saying.  This connects with the other reading because many young people today feel forced to believe and feel a certain about many issues in our society today.  They feel that this pressure is not allowing them to even have a change to consider what the other side is feeling. And if one does believe what some of the older generation believe in they are sentenced to judgement. Since this is the case how do we ever know what is right or wrong and true or false? To my understanding that is what alternative facts are.  Facts that have evidence backing the up in two ways.
