Vote No on 1984
NRO ^ | 2 Nov 2020 | Victor Davis Hanson

Thought crimes, ministries of truth, and memory holes belong in Oceania, not America.

If we were to wake up in 2022, would we be more likely to see a 15-person Supreme Court, a Senate without a filibuster, a nation without an Electoral College, and an effort to admit two more states and with them four more senators if Joe Biden or Donald Trump were president?

Why would we blow up a nine-justice Supreme Court after 151 years, or a 233-year Electoral College, or a 170-year Senate filibuster, or a 60-year 50-state Union? And why now? What is the theme, the argument, the momentum for shattering these traditions, other than that progressives see them as ancient impediments to their radical ends?

Who, if president, would alter our ways of governance, and who would resist? Why are the proponents of these radical changes to the way we are governed so fanatical and yet so quiet about their intentions?

We know that about 99.7–99.8 percent of those under 60 who are infected with the coronavirus survive the disease. We know that the more we lock down everyone under quarantines, the more we risk scattering our resources to cover everyone — many of whom do not need such investment — only to short the vulnerable and elderly who most certainly do need the protection.

Orwell’s 1984 was meant to be a warning not a road map...but then again we are talking about leftards.
The same fascistic people who call themselves Antifa or who were once the KKK who now call everyone else racist.

The Left want to seize power and have a permanent lock on it. They aren’t even being subtle.

The left wants their revolution and they don’t care what they have to do to get it.

The wrong questions were asked.

The correct question is should the progressive UK worshipers be elected, are we willing to go to war to retake America?

The future would be PM Pelosi as the real leader of the country

Literary finesse and discernment is not in the wheelhouse of those who believe the seating of Justice Barrett to be the start of "The Handmaid's Tale" as reality.

When I saw NRO I almost skipped it.

Until I saw VDH.
