That was one sign. Another was the rapid proliferation of alternative narratives. In the old days, when news happened, the media would report the facts—two planes crashed into the Twin Towers, which then collapsed. Only later would conspiracy theories emerge—9/11 was an inside job, for example.

Then came January 6, an event that unfolded as fact and fiction simultaneously. While the mainstream media showed us footage of Donald Trump supporters storming the Capitol in real time, Fox News, other right-wing outlets, and social media told people that the riot they were watching was actually the work of antifa. And so, before our eyes, the fictional version of the moment was born at the same instant as the reality.
