Who Are The People Who Understand "1984"?

No one is doing that, shortbus.

Let me know when your short bus arrives at reality.

1. At one time government school, public school, was a place of learning, and turned out Americans who were among the most educated in the world. One of the books most of us read was "1984," by Orwell.

2. If you were part of such a milieu, you probably discussed the reasons Orwell wrote it and the cautions we were to pay attention to about big government, Liberal/Leftist/Democrat governance. And perhaps you remembered the lesson.

3. Along those lines, reminds of a Reagan quote:
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
Ronald Reagan



It appears our Democrat supporters didn't understand 1984.


4. The protagonist in "1984" was Winston Smith. Do you remember what his civil service job for Big Brother was?

In 1984 by George Orwell, Winston Smith's job is as a records editor in the Ministry of Truth, where he rewrites historical documents to align with the Party's ideology. This includes rewriting press releases, altering poetry, and inventing people to fit the Party's ideals. For example, Winston creates Comrade Ogilvy, an imaginary person who is the opposite of Comrade Withers, who has been erased from existence.

1. One of the books the Trump Cult seeks to ban is 1984. School boards all over the USA are calling the book "pornography" so they can ban it. So current generations will never learn the lessons of 1984.

While the state has not issued guidance on what to do with flagged books, the state’s Department of Education has said such information is forthcoming.

2. We had no discussion of left/right politics in 1984, nor is the political ideology of the AUTHORITARIAN DICTATORSHIP. The purpose of 1984 is to warn of the dangers of AUTHORITARIAN DICTATORSHIPS. Not leftist ideology.

I do remember the lesson, and have watched Trump trying to transform himself into a Big Brother figure. You picked the right vehicle, but with your limited comprehension skills, you misinterpreted the message utterly.

3. Quoting the President who set about to turn the USA into Apartheid America continues to validate the opinion that everything you know is a lie told to you by Republicans. Reagan also lied to you about Welfare Queens, and that tax cuts pay for themselves, neither of which are true. Reagan is the architect of the decline and fall of the American middle class.

4. Under the Trump Administration, Winston would have been working full time, rewriting what really happened. From Trump's "biggest Inauguration crowd in history" lie, through his "greatest economy in history", to his "stolen election" lies, Trump's attempts to rewrite the history of his failed administration have fallen on mostly deaf ears.

Unlike YOU, most American aren't fooled by Trump's false claims of wealth, popularity or success and have recognized that Trump is nothing but a grifter and a conman. Unlike YOU, we have been paying attention to what's going on, not just accepting what Trump and the authoritarian propaganda machine is pumping out.

I gave you a 'factual' on your comment here but I won't include the RINOs in that. RINOs are not Marxists. They are globalists who have strayed from tried and true libertarian/classical liberal concepts that not only maximize liberty but promote choices, options, opportunity and prosperity for all. About all they share with Democrats is the rhetoric that government power rather than policy will fix problems.

But the worst RINO is still preferable to the best Marxist minded Democrat. That RINO still represents us and will throw much better bones to get our vote and will more often vote against a Marxist agenda. Any Democrat they allow to be elected these days will more often vote for the Marxist agenda.

There are no "Marxists" in America. This isn't the 1950's and communism is long dead and buried.

The battle today is against authoritarianism, and Donald Trump and his Republican Party are white nationalist authoritarians writ large. They're using the anti-communist rhetoric of the 1950's to sell you a false dichotomy.

They were even so bold as to publish Project 2025, which outlines exactly how Trump will consolidate power to the Presidency, seize control of the FCC and lift the broadcast licenses of any media outlets which dare to criticize him.

He will also take full control of the DOJ and use it to prosecute his "enemies", which the Supreme Court recently blessed as part of their immunity decision.

You really need to wake up and see just how badly Trump, Murdoch and the rest of the "loyal" Republicans plan to screw you over.

Of course we are an independent nation. I'd say the same of some of your agencies who believe that your system of civil liberties and even police methods are the same, they aren't. Your political leaders probably understand that we are far more free.and have accountable and transparent governmemt,.however, this doesn't seem to trickle down to some of yoir agencies. That will be your down fall as a nation. It's very difficult to regain citizens trust once you cross the rubicon. Instead of saving us you are becoming us.

So, when in the US, do you view yourself as an alien then? You speak the same language, your higher-ups are barking at the same trees, Trudeau is as bis an asshole as Biden is and you, the people, are different all of a sudden? Maybe they let you think that you are as long as you stay in line, so to speak?

I am so chagrinedi. My gun is so lazy.......it still has never shot anyone.


Maybe those Republicans are right, and it's criminals and not guns responsible for gun violence.



You’re probably the right one to ask this….do illiterate folks get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Sorry you should ask someone who is actually from the right or maybe ask yourself. As someone from the left it doesn't matter to me how (chagrinedi) you become. Still I am amused. Thank you.

Guns are not the problem, it is the owner of the gun who lets the gun be stolen and used that hurts a innocent person or people.

That is the problem but if you disagree then so be it.

Yet the owners never get blamed? Are you amused?

Still do not hate me but I do have to ask. Are we off topic?

Oh and I apologize for any misspelled words as its more a typo error. You see I use a pencil to type.

Is the reason for supporting the Democrat candidate here because you already have this in Canada?

• Contrary to the term itself, Kamala has stated that illegal aliens are not criminals
• She has stated that she wishes to decriminalize illegally crossing the border, similar to the way Democrats have decriminalized shoplifting.
• She has argued against, not the death penalty, just the death penalty for cop killers
• She favors defunding the police
• She authored a fund to bail out domestic terrorists, called the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
• Joining Communist Bernie Sanders in “Medicare For All,” in which she argues for all private health insurance. BTW, some 220 million Americans have private health insurance, 65% of the population
• Kamala plans to include all the illegals in the Medicare plan
• Eliminate and ban all fracking which produces 64% of the total crude oil produced in the United States in 2023.
• She supported a law which bans arrests for shoplifting under $950.
• She supports indicting Israel for war crimes against Hamas
• Believes in banning internal combustion engines, allowing only electric vehicles.
• As Attn’y General, her office supported Prop 57 that put rapists and murders back on the street after serving a fraction of their sentence
• Supported a state law that keeps parents from knowing about the indoctrination of their children toward gender transition
• When the nation was wracked by Democrat-fueled George Floyd riots Kamala said the riots should not stop:

“As a U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021, she had a more leftist voting record even than socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, Vermont independent.” Harris had a more leftist voting record in Senate than Sanders

Kamala wrote “Trump supports a national abortion ban.” Of course that is a lie. Kamala Harris na Instagramie : "Donald Trump supports a national abortion ban. President @JoeBiden and I will do everything in our power to stop him and restore women's reproductive freedom."

Kamala is a Marxist. Her father was a Marxist. Obama, is a Marxist. Joe Biden is a Marxist tool.

Kamala is a Marxist. Her father was a Marxist. Obama, is a Marxist. Joe Biden is a Marxist tool.

Well that ideology is the basis of the Democrat Party. I take it back to FDR, who hated successful businessmen and capitalists in general.
His "marriage" with Uncle Joe was a marriage made.....you can guess.

And you can see it in the posts of Democrat supporaters: they do not understand civics, governmnent, nor even their own benefit. The see political parties in the same way they see their fav sports team: keep voting for them no matter how detrimental the results.

RINOs are Marxist fellow travelers

 

[LordBrownTrout]

But you see, this is all by design. Its the classic bit -- keep your eye on the left hand but not the right hand. Dont you be worrying about the massive influx of millions of illegals flooding in the country, gargantuan debt, inflation, never ending wars, social engineering etc--that we politicians have created. Naw, you just keep watching sports, games, tik tok, social media..............happy days are here!

Happens to those who obey the Democrat prime directive: "Never Think."

Good boy! Doggie treat?

Their voting record says otherwise.
