Oh, please, "alternative facts" are pernicious lies that too many people are WILLING to believe.
I was talking to someone, paused to say, "Don't quote me on the date, but it was the middle of X century when..." I included the disclaimer because dating an event OFF by even two years can have significant... misapplications, shall we say, and that error margin is rapidly becoming a favorite tool of the "alternative fact" crowd.
"More people were deported in Obama's administration than ever before," was an example, when in my view, the problem is HOW Trump's administrations conducted those deportations, especially recently.
