Most people of my generation are well aware that George Orwell’s 1949 dystopian novel “1984” was a treatise on totalitarian socialism or, as Orwell put it, “oligarchical collectivism.” In the novel, the all-powerful State was the sole arbiter of reality, even to the stunning degree that cold, hard facts relating to just about anything could be summarily denied.

Earlier in his presidency, the left tried to convict Trump in the court of public opinion concerning allegations that he was an abusive misogynist. They weren’t able to do this, despite the fact that he’s been in the public eye for decades and has employed literally thousands of people, many of whom were women.
Trump’s detractors weren’t able to prove that he’s some sort of sexual deviant either.
