Ante-fact, contra vero, pre verite -- you conjugate it -- the state in which truth is hidden and perhaps forever unknown. The Trump phenomenon has rendered facts useless, while in Thailand there's plenty of pre-truth incidents. What happened happened, period. For these people who have no accountability to the electorate, truth isn't just irrelevant. Yes, there's no one truth -- there are truths, versions of truths, disputable truths.
