Yes, It’s Fascism

Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

Trump’s lying has always been characterized by dogged repetition. It became especially repetitive in 2025. While he continued to regularly sprinkle in new lies, he relied on a core set of go-to fabrications he deployed virtually no matter the setting and no matter how many times they had been debunked. Did you hear about how Trump secured $17 trillion or $18 trillion in investment? You probably did if you watched even a few Trump speeches or interviews. Same with the one about how consumer prices have fallen this year, about how Trump ended seven or eight wars, and about how foreign leaders around the world emptied their prisons and mental institutions to send unwanted citizens across the US border as migrants. Here is our highly subjective list of Trump’s top 25 lies of 2025. We chose some because the president repeated them particularly often, some because they were about notably consequential topics, and some because they were especially egregious in their distance from reality. https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/27/politics/analysis-donald-trumps-top-25-lies-of-2025

Some stories have a dark side. Should we support those storytellers among us who use stories for immoral and unethical ends?

"I am telling you reality, alt-right?" There, fixed it. Our downfall will be society mixing everyone's right to have their own opinion with everyone's right to have their own facts. Hashtag #AlternativeFacts

I'm very much obliged to a friend for pointing out this morning that what we're seeing is an active war on information. I had been thinking of it as very sloppy #epistemology; however, it's more than that. #waroninformation #disinformation #alternativefacts progressive.org/op-eds/trump...

Autocratic politicians depend on their ability to lie without facing accountability.

"One woman, the article reported, said she had 'seven different baby daddies and none of ‘em no good for me.' Another declared: 'It is the taxpayer’s responsibility to take care of my kids.' There’s just one problem: these women don’t exist. They’re AI-generated." #SNAP #FoxNews #AI #disinformation #FakeNews #racism /2
