Is Trump a Fascist? Wikipedia Think So.

Did Wikipedia try to influence the 2024 U.S. election?

In this short exposé, we investigate how Wikipedia blurred the line between historical record and political propaganda — just weeks before Americans went to the polls.

A new article titled Donald Trump and Fascism appeared in October 2024. It compared Trump to Hitler, labeled him authoritarian, and used the word “fascist” 92 times — all sourced from far-left publications and radical academics.

These edits weren’t made by historians. They were inserted by anonymous activists. Once live, the article was indexed by Google, boosted in search rankings, and absorbed into AI training datasets — turning partisan attacks into “verified” information.

Meanwhile, Wikipedia ran bright red donation banners over the page, helping founder Jimmy Wales raise $180 million in 2024 alone.

Critics argue this isn’t just bias — it’s a form of election interference.
