Not the subjective truth of what you think is the best beer or who makes the best hamburger, but the objective truth of what is or is not a fact.
It's not that objective truth doesn't exist, it most certainly does, it's that so many people, particularly on the political left, no longer care what that objective truth is.
Like the constellations in the stars, which can be made into anything when there are millions of them, people seeing what they want to see is nothing new.
What is new is the idea that people deny what is unambiguously right in front of them because they either don't like it or have too much invested in something else.
They've dabbled in stage two, anger, but only in the context of people mentioning the truth they're in the throes of denying.
How does anyone work with or trust people unwilling to admit the Sun rises in the East?
No amount of truth is going to sway people away from a lie they desperately want to believe.
