    Party slogans in Orwell’s “1984” were: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

        With a bit of imagination, Orwell would have coined the phrase “TRUTH ISN’T TRUTH”. We can now thank @RudyGiuliani for this.

        Tbf this is America since its inception. This isn’t Trump The “Land of the Free” where “All Men are Created Equal” was founded on slavery & White Supremacy.

        I just put 1984 on hold on overdrive. It has been long time since I read it back in college. Will be quite interesting to read it again in the context of our crazy situation.

        1984 was a cautionary tale to all people when it was written. Today it seems like a warning to us specifically. That it compares to our current situation is shocking to me. I never thought I’d see fascism threatening Democracy in America.

        The Trumpian version is where everything I say about others actually applies to me.

        It's like 1984 meets Animal Farm.

        And to that we now add “Truth isn’t truth”. God help us all.

        Trump and Giulani think "1984" is a textbook.
