I've concluded:
If you lean left:
The border is under control.
Crime is down.
The economy is sound
Our stature in the world is solid.
If you lean right:
The border is wide open.
Crime is horrible.
The economy is bad for a lot of folks and about to get worse.
We are a laughing stock.
Any "facts" are "interpreted" (or ignored) with those things in mind as they cannot change, so any "facts" have to change.
