Welcome to the dumbed-down #GQP #AlternativeFacts land of lower (or no) #education, 24/7 #disinformation and buried #reality - Bye bye #history / #facts

Hello Ministry of #Truth & #Doublespeak

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

The country living most in the world of Orwell’s ”1984” today is Russia.

When they say ”peace”, you should not make the mistake they mean the same thing as you.

However, there are many misguided inviduals appearing on right-wing talk-radio & podcasts thinking they’re not affected by propaganda..

#alternativefacts all over again.

To be somewhat even handed, even though the situation is far, far more serious here, we can see this kind of duplicitous #political #doublespeak down through the decades.
