It's gone beyond Orwell

Orwell had an oft-repeated statement: "In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act"
But we've gone beyond Orwell. Now conservatives are attacked for stating something backed up with months of video evidence - that AntiFa is violent and provokes most of the conflict at protests/counterprotests. So Orwell needs to be rewritten:
"In a time of liberal deceit, stating the obvious is a revolutionary act."

The right believe that Orwell scribed a warning.
The left thinks it is a playbook.
The right allowed their plan to unfold.
Sorry, FRiend. The Left played the long game. The Right chuckled it up, poo-poo'd the warnings and, election after election, voted in the lesser-of-two-Socialists.
Does anyone see the (R)\GOP(e) de-funding the colleges\'public' schools? Dismantling the union\(D) power couple?
Hell, we have an 'honorable' AG who couldn't say BOO about the last 8+ yrs., but RAN to defend some 'civil rights violations' (still can't noodle THAT one out, 'cuz it ain't going to be vs. Anfifa, the Mayor nor Gov.)
Sorry, that's no 'tide' (nor can it be rolled-back), the tsunami is coming.

Maybe that 0bama ding-a-ling, Marie Harf, can help the Antifacktards get JOBS like she suggested we do for ISIS Terrorists?

I read Orwell and thought of it as fantasy because America was America. Who let her down? Franklin knew very well who it could be.

History has indeed stopped—and now warped back to the 1850s. Those were not the “good old days” for anyone.
