[Cincinatus' Wife]

"....[George] Orwell's protagonist, Winston Smith, uses the phrase to wonder if the State might declare "two plus two equals five" as a fact; he ponders whether, if everybody believes it, does that make it true? The Inner Party interrogator of thought-criminals, O'Brien, says of the mathematically false statement that control over physical reality is unimportant; so long as one controls one's own perceptions to what the Party wills, then any corporeal act is possible, in accordance with the principles of doublethink ("Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once"). 2 + 2 + 5

Which is exactly what COMMIE...errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr COMMON CORE does in math and what the GOPEs do when they talk politics and about Trump; 2+2 = jebbie, or whomever the flavor of that day is, to crush Trump.

IOW, perception is reality. So everyone other than Trump is toast.
