“It used to be everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but that's not the case anymore. Now, we are entitled to our own facts.”

Simplified Meaning:

People used to believe that everyone could have their own viewpoint or ideas about topics. However, nowadays, it seems people think they can make up their own version of the truth. For example, consider a discussion about the weather. In the past, you could have your own opinion about whether you liked the rain or not. Now, it's like someone saying, "It’s sunny" when it’s clearly raining. They believe they can decide what the facts are, even if those facts are false. This change can cause confusion and problems because real facts are important for understanding the world and making good decisions. Imagine if doctors made up their own facts about diseases and treatments—it would be dangerous and harmful. To live well and work together, everyone should try to agree on the true facts, even if we have different opinions about them. In your own life, always try to find out what is actually true by checking reliable sources and listening to experts, rather than just believing something because it sounds nice or because you want it to be true. This way, you can make better choices and help others do the same.
