Trump borrows from the old tricks of fascism | Timothy Snyder | Opinion | The Guardian: "The attraction of the Nazi conspiracy thinking is that we can feel like victims when we attack. Its vulnerability is that the world is full of facts. Hence Hitler’s hostility to journalism. In the Germany of the early 1930s, the newspaper industry was suffering after a financial crisis. Hitler and other Nazis used the idea of the “L�genpresse” (“fake news”) to attack remaining journalists who were trying to report the facts."
