• Post-truth politics is a political culture in which debate is
framed largely by appeals to emotion disconnected from
the details of policy, and by the repeated assertion of
talking points to which factual rebuttals are ignored.

Post Truth Politics
• Post-truth differs from
traditional contesting
and falsifying of truth by
rendering it of
"secondary" importance.

• From Trump to Erdogan and to Brexit leaders, these
politicians rely on “assertions that ‘feel true’ but have no
basis in fact.” Feelings, not facts, “are what matter” in this
sort of politics.

Post Truth Politics
• Republican presidential
candidate Donald J.
Trump has become the voice
of those who were let down
and left behind, including by
traditional GOP leaders.

Post Truth Politics
• Isn’t true about Erdogan, too?
Turks both in Turkey and abroad
are proud of a leader who yells at
Israel (never mind the silent
reconciliation) and lifted millions
out of poverty, made long
oppressed Muslims feel as “first-
class citizens.”

Post Truth Politics
• Because Erdogan and Trump
make their electorate feel
“great and empowered”,
who cares if they tell the
truth or lie, if they respect
laws or bend them?

Post Truth Politics
• When a public figure claims
that President Barack Obama was
not born in the U.S. and that he is
not a patriotic American, it feeds
into people’s worst impulses. It
helps consolidate many around a
single political line.
