摘要:

自特朗普2016年获选美国总统至今,美国政治发生了巨大且实质性的变化;然而各种显著变化却遮盖了一个根本性的转变——美国民众对说谎的态度之转变。今天的美国,最高领导人谎言被频繁揭穿,却仍坚决以“真相追寻者”自诩,并能获得近半国人以及大量硅谷精英的支持。这一“特朗普现象”深刻地重新界定了当下美国的伦理性实质。通过对当代美国谎言政治的独特形态做出深入考察,我们旨在揭示出特朗普如何将谎言成功地政治化与武器化,并改写了当代美国的伦理性实质。在当代美国政坛,谎言不仅仅被用于遮盖原有现实,而且被用于构建另类现实。

Abstract:

Since Donald Trump’s election as U.S. President in 2016, American politics has undergone significant and substantive changes. However, these conspicuous shifts have obscured a more fundamental transformation: the change in American citizens’ attitude toward lying. In today’s United States, despite frequent exposures of falsehoods by the highest leadership, there remains a steadfast public self-identification as “truth-seekers” which continues to garner support from nearly half of the population and numerous Silicon Valley elites. This “Trump phenomenon” profoundly redefines the ethical substance of contemporary America. Through an in-depth examination of the unique form of lying in modern American politics, this study aims to reveal how Trump has successfully politicized and weaponized falsehoods, thereby reshaping the ethical fabric of present-day America. In the current political arena, lies are not merely used to conceal existing realities but are also employed to construct alternative realities.

Key words: Trump phenomenon, politics of lies, alternative reality, regime of truth, MAGA metaverse
