Common Ground?

I agree that the temperature of our discourse must be lowered. I acknowledge that we have different opinions. What I have a problem with is those who choose lies over facts.
Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, not Kenya.
The 2020 election was won by Biden, not Trump.
There are myriad other examples, but where does one find common ground with someone who lives in a fact-free universe?
A difference of opinion is on taxes, education, social policies, or what color suit to wear. One has a right to one's opinion, but not to “alternative facts.” To do so is to claim the earth is flat, or that the moon is made of green cheese.
While the Democrats are fraught with their own faults, the current crop of so-called Republican leaders are, and have been for quite some time, drowning in their disinformation Kool-Aid.
