Trump’s attack on higher education is being driven by a couple of different ideological and material forces.
First and foremost, authoritarian and fascist regimes historically have targeted various sectors of society.
If we look at fascist Spain, fascist Italy, or Nazi Germany, or if we look at Victor Orbšn’s Hungary and his fascist or illiberal regime,
what we see are three sectors that are clearly always identified and targeted.
One is the press,
one is the…

Trump’s Attempts to Control Higher Education Follow a Familiar Fascist Playbook
Trumpism has been aided by divestment that hollowed higher ed out from the core, AAUP President Todd Wolfson says.

"Labour has taken a blow. But Reform UK has been shown up. When tested, their movement offers nothing but grievance, paranoia and imported culture-war nonsense. No answers. No humility. Just blame. And this is why Farage’s behaviour matters beyond one by-election."

'Stop looking back in anger, Nige. Manchester rejects Trumpism'
Nigel Farage wraps himself in the Union flag, but the moment voters rejected him, he ditched British values and reached straight for Donald Trump’s playbook - cry cheating and trash the result

Perhaps we shouldn't see it as fascism, but as Trumpism, a novel and different scourge of our times.

For a vibes-based cult of personality, it’s the kiss of death for a thought like “Trump killed Epstein” to become a mainstream refrain.

Reality still matters
Technology and Trumpism have been eroding our shared reality. The killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis shows ordinary people still believe truth is worthwhile.

Trumpism = Nazism 🖖

A year into Trump’s second term
MAGA’s internal contradictions can no longer be ignored.
The movement that had promised an end to foreign adventurism has found itself torn between an alliance of ideological noninterventionists and realists and a hawkish national security establishment.
Trumpism promised a revival of domestic manufacturing,
yet neither the president nor his advisers have decided whether this means tariffs, industrial policy, reviving organized labor,…

Opinion | The Strange Death of Make America Great Again
Trump has begun to recede from the movement he created.

Facts didn’t build this collective delusion, and facts won’t puncture it.
So yeah, I’m trying to stay diligent about facts where facts matter. I’m trying to stay clear in my own head about what we •know• with high confidence as distinct from what merely seems •likely•.
And I’m also studying — with careful attention, as a serious matter — what popular imagination is doing to the “100% vibes” foundation of Trumpism. Popular imagination. Not the facts. The vibes.

— and with it a surge in supremacist ideology
— signals and references to fascism, Nazism, and white supremacy are present in numerous communications from the administration.
Trade union leaders were one of the latest to sound the alarm over the government’s supremacist rhetoric.

when it shared on its social media an animation featuring a statue o…
