From "Mar-a-Lago face" to uncanny AI art: MAGA loves ugly in submission to Trump by Amanda Marcotte: Fascism, especially the 21st-century version practiced by the MAGA movement, is at war with reality. The hyperreality of the MAGA aesthetic is about power. Unable to create good or beautiful things, they express dominance by turning everything ugly.
