Abstract
The Brazilian presidential campaign of 2018 showed a strong wastage of the image of traditional politics (parties and politicians). It brought evidences – which had already been observed in the United States in 2016 – that far-right followers would be more likely to spread fake news on social networks. This article revisits several researches on both 2018 Brazilian elections and 2016 elections in the United States and notes that, at least according to available data, conservative (right-wing) populism shows signs of being more efficient in using fake news, taking advantage of the rupture between political debate and the so-called by Hannah Arendt “factual truth”. It remains to be seen, from now on, whether further studies will confirm the greater aptitude of political conservatism for the use of fraudulent news and what consequences will follow for the democratic order.
