Election Day Is Our Opportunity to Make Orwell Fiction Again

If I didn’t live on a small cul de sac where no one would see it, I’d be sporting this little beauty out on my front yard.

Some people knew that we were going full Orwellian before Trump was sworn in, but the rest of us figured it out when Shawn Spicer took to the TV cameras and announced to the world’s amazement that Trump’s inauguration was the largest in history, defying straightforward photographic evidence.  This was quickly followed by the admonition: “What you’re seeing isn’t what’s really happening,” and then by the suggestion that there are “alternative facts.”

If we fail to make all this psychosis disappear in November, we will soon start to be taught by the Ministry of Truth that war is peace, freedom is slavery, and that ignorance is strength.
