A quotation from Hannah Arendt

For the propaganda of totalitarian movements which precede and accompany totalitarian regimes is invariably as frank as it is mendacious, and would-be totalitarian rulers usually start their careers by boasting of their past crimes and carefully outlining their future ones. The Nazis were “convinced that evil-doing in our time has a morbid force of attraction,” Bolshevik assurances inside and outside Russia that they do not recognize ordinary moral standards have become a mainstay of Communist propaganda, and experience has proven time and again that the propaganda value of evil deeds and general contempt for moral standards is independent of mere self-interest, supposedly the most powerful psychological factor in politics.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
The Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)

Time to #kvell. My daughter, a 3rd grade teacher, managed to secure the only #Disney musicals grant in NJ (one of only 71 in the country) for 2025-26. She’s got 70 little kids doing a slamming version of The Lion King and has literally created a drama program at her school, where there was none before.

3/🧵Hardly a day goes by without Trump’s telling us that no president has amassed a political movement like his or accomplished as much in such a short time or built such a rich economy or worked harder. Me, me, me. Best, best, best. He can’t find enough hours in the conventional workday to proclaim his glory adequately, so he has been known to spend the wee hours strutting on Truth Social, as he did from 9 p.m. to midnight on the first day of December, in a narcissistic meltdown of more than 150 posts.

About six hours later, as he reflected on what terrific fun that was, he awarded a superlative to the platform designed to accommodate his superlatives. “TRUTH SOCIAL IS THE BEST!” he wrote. “There is nothing even close!!!” Exclamation points are like pluses. You can’t have just one. —Frank Bruni, NYTimes #Trump #Huckster #bragging #Republicans #TrumpRegime #USPol

2/🧵When Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, gave a status report on his agency’s work in mid-October in the Oval Office, he effused: “These are the best numbers for fighting crime in U.S. history.” He used “historic” less than a minute later, and another “historic” less than a minute after that. As Shakespeare might have written, methinks he doth “historic” too much.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, giving a status report of his own at a cabinet meeting two weeks ago, pronounced: “It has been a historic year at the Department of War.” He added that “the spirit in our ranks” was “unprecedented” and that recruitment and retention were “at the most historic levels our country has ever seen.” Not just historic — most historic. —Frank Bruni, NYTimes #Trump #TrumpRegime #Republicans #bragging #boasting #character #USPol

Trump and his team exuberantly violate just about every precept of character that I was ever taught, and so it goes with moderation and humility. They’ve normalized bragging. Scratch that: They’ve fetishized it. It’s a naughtiness they allow themselves, a perk they accord themselves, a rite by which they identify themselves to one another as birds of a feather — peacocks, in this case. It’s a competition: My superlatives are bigger than yours. —Frank Bruni, NYTimes #Bragging #character #braggart #boasting #Trump #TrumpRegime #USPol
