RULE OF THUMB WHEN FACING FASCISM:
If you're confused by what they're saying, err on the side that they're probably lying:
Historian Timothy Snyder:
"If you want to rip the heart out of a democracy... you go after facts
That's what modern authoritarians do"
"You lie yourself all the time"
"You say it’s your opponents & the journalists who lie"
"Everyone looks around & says ‘What is truth. There is no truth’"
"And then resistance is impossible & the game’s over"
