🔥Frum: Trumpism Is Becoming Fascism. Those minimizing January 6 justify violence to overthrow democracy. We used to say "This is not normal." Truth is, THIS IS NOW NORMAL. Citizen involvement is the solution. Not just voting, but not accepting lies as legitimate in politics.🎯💥
@davidfrum @brianstelter This stmt of Frum's is key: Don't accept lies as legitimate. Lies are the heart of Trumpism. They must not only be debunked as pieces of disinformation. GOP lies must be viewed as illegitimate political strategy. That's where pro-democracy media must do its part against fascism.

@davidfrum @brianstelter Lies are a fascist fire. They require oxygen to grow. Euphemism is oxygen. Media gives fascism oxygen by not using direct descriptive language acknowledging the lies as GOP strategy. Deem lies, Republicans saying them & everything resulting from GOP lies as tainted, illegitimate.

@davidfrum @brianstelter 🛑Most important thing media can do to support democracy in 2022 is to stop covering the GOP as a legitimate party. A year into lies about a coup & a terrorist attack, GOP fascism is undeniable. Out it. Make democracy THE threshold question. Follow up! Deny fascists legitimacy.
