The recent UFC event, UFC Freedom 250, has sparked a bizarre claim that it drew more viewers than the Super Bowl. This assertion, made by Republican National Committee chairman Joe Gruters, is not only preposterous but also indicative of a troubling trend in American politics. The claim is based on the exclusive platform, Paramount+, which, despite its exclusive status, lacks the global subscriber base to rival the Super Bowl's audience. This isn't the first instance of such absurdity; the 2017 inauguration crowd was inflated with 'alternative facts', setting a precedent for this kind of misinformation. The author argues that this is a symptom of a broader issue in a post-truth, post-sanity America, where lies and misinformation have become normalized. The article emphasizes the importance of normalcy and the dangers of accepting such absurd claims without question. It serves as a reminder that we should strive for truth and reality, even in the face of political differences. The author concludes by expressing frustration with the constant stream of lies and the numbing effect it has on society, suggesting that the only way to counteract this is to remain vigilant and critical of such claims.
