Trumpism: democratic language is kept, while fascist tactics-big lies, mythic nationalism, scapegoating, and delegitimizing elections-are repackaged for mass politics.
Trump and MAGA rely on exactly the kind of political lying Finchelstein describes.

As Federico Finchelstein explains, lying is a feature, not a bug, of fascism. For the fascist, the 'truth' is whatever allows them to dominate others. They see their lies as in service to a 'greater truth' which is, in fact, a bigger lie.

The wannabe fascist embodies an incomplete version of fascism. Adopting a messianic style, this type of leader despises any type of deep thinking. For them there is no big picture. Idiocy, extreme narcissism, and an ability to manipulate people and institutions go hand in hand.

I have to listen to this again. To paraphrase Finchelstein:
"Lying is a FEATURE, not a bug, of fascism. For the fascist, the 'truth' is whatever allows them to dominate others. They see their lies as in service to a larger truth, which is itself a bigger lie."

T. Adorno: Hitler and Goebbels: "a band of conspirators installed as the police. Their usurpation reveals that inherent in the myth of power." In fascism. "the elites are self-appointed. Arrest is assault, judgment violence."

“When the far right talks about freedom of expression, what they are really demanding is a free pass to discriminate. Examples: Trumpism or President Kast when he denies Pinochet's state terrorism,” argues historian Federico Finchelstein. www.eldiario.es/sociedad/aba... @eldiario.es

“Cuando la extrema derecha habla de libertad de expresión, lo que reclama es una vía libre para discriminar. Pasa con el trumpismo o el presidente Kast cuando niega el terrorismo de Estado de Pinochet”, sostiene Federico Finchelstein, historiador www.eldiario.es/sociedad/aba...

If people are finding out as a late as now how Trumpism is wannabe fascism, they should be accepted in a big pro-democracy, pro-pluralism, pro-equality tent. Their belated dissent is welcome. Democracy is in danger and this is not the time for the usual holier-than-thou approach!
