It is called making up fake facts and lying.
I think that this isn’t the first time that we have had this conversation about these made up “facts”.
You can’t just make up fake statistics and WWII history and election data.
I think it is called opinion. But you are right. Pointless for me to say “’tis” but also for you to say “’taint,” when neither of us can offer facts in rebuttal. As for myself, I am drawing on memory for monographs about voting of the post war elections, up to about 1965, and supposition thereafter. But you are in denial if you can’t see that the thinking of Catholics before, say. 1968, and afterwards was radically different. Who would have guessed, for instance, that a devout order of nuns in Southern California would turn into anabaptists as a result of their clash with the cardinal archbishop or that many others and many priests would be radicalized and the authority of the hierarchy virtually rejected by men determined to subvert that authority, including some of its members.
