We're not in a post-fact age. We're simply at a time where people are more aware that a given subset of facts can support a narrative the conflicts with the narrative of another subset. Similar to unifying theories in science, we just need to always look for explanations that encompass more facts. Not throw our hands in the air and say, "This is too hard! There are no more facts, only narrative!"

That sort of epistemological nihilism isn't really supported by the facts :)
