Guilty until alternate suspect principle

The idea that someone is guilty unless they can come up with another person who is either guilty or a strong suspect. The idea is usually based on an imprecise process of elimination.

Parent to child: Did you do it?
Child: No.
Parent: Well if you didn't do it, then who did?
Nearby observer: Ah ha, she's using the guilty until alternate suspect principle.

TRUMP ALTERNATE REALITY SYNDROME (TARS)

The condition wherein Donald Trump's (deplorable) base ignores his countless lies, and ignores his countless misstatements of facts. These loyal followers, suffering from T.A.R.S., choose to give their leader/ paper tiger, a PASS on all the diarrhea that spews forth from his mouth. These sufferers live in a dimension where facts don't matter. "Alternative Facts" are an acceptable substitute.

At the Thanksgiving dinner table, I listened in disbelief as my redneck Uncle Cletus, who suffers from Trump Alternate Reality Syndrome (TARS), waxed philosophic about Donald Trump's "record-breaking inauguration crowds".

alternative facts

A term that REALLY just fucking means lies, but thanks to postmodernism, we're not allowed to call them that anymore, because everyone's viewpoint is equally valid, there is no such thing as a false narrative, and everyone is entitled to their own personal reality.

You say the sun is made of hydrogen and helium, I say it's made of whale farts and silly string! Those are my alternative facts! Nobody is right or wrong, there is no such thing as objectivity, we have to respect everyone's viewpoint!
