When truth lacks an absolute source

It is difficult to grasp how far away from Truth someone must be to to come up with such ridiculous conjecture.  

We no longer hold these truths to be self-evident:

—A U.S. presidential election will be held every four years in November.

—The armed forces will not be involved in those elections.

—Nor in domestic protests.

—Medicine will be approved when science says it’s safe and effective, not because a politician wants it approved before Election Day.

—The United States is an example to the world in managing a peaceful transfer of power.

—You’ll get your checks, bills, letters, junk mail — and ballots — on time in your mailbox. Because: “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”

That unofficial post office creed is carved in granite. The other verities of American democracy and public service might as well be. But that doesn’t make them eternal.

Later, the author goes on to say "It's a country...where common purpose is sidelined in tribal argument between the masked and unmasked."  Tribal lines always take precedence over 'common purpose'.  But even if it were true that we did have common purpose, it still takes a willful ignorance to believe such common purpose is a better glue than tribe. 

Since when is "truth" supplied by the post office?  To hold any of these as "truth" is a gross misuse of the word truth, in historical American language and in Western Christian tradition.  I think that even willful ignorance is probably too much credit, however.  It is probably safe to say it's a blind devotion to the father of lies.
