A German form of this word with the suffix “-los” was named 2010 Un-Word of the Year. A politician’s use of a phrase coined by Herbert Spencer (-5[1])ending in this word led her to be nicknamed “Tina” by the “wets” of her party. A party whose name begins with this word has moderate (15[1])“Midpoint” and extremist “Wing” factions (-5[1])and made a (*) right (10[1]-5[1])turn after founder Bernd Lucke lost a leadership election to Frauke Petry in 2015.

(10[1]0[1]-5[2])This adjective was used by Kellyanne Conway to defend Sean Spicer’s (10[1])misreporting of Trump’s inauguration attendance. (10[1])A populist far-right party is named (10[1])for one of these (10[1])things “for Germany.” For 10 points, name this word that describes a post-truth set of “facts.” (10[2])■END■ (10[4])
