The thing is that they're using George Orwell as an instruction manual not a warning. "The party told you to reject the evidence of your ears and eyes. It was their final, most essential command"

Well yeah but Dinonychus isn't as cool a name as Velociraptor. I mean they're both quite similar but different sizes and at the time they made JP they didn't know both had very primitive feathers.

That's a possibility but then they'd be left to deal with conflicting "truths" (or lies in those cases). Or are they suddenly going to stop believing in the one they've relied on thus far ? That really is more than merely "denying the evidence of ears and eyes" they've turned into mindless beings.

So Trump is now attacking his own propaganda machine ? Where does that leave the MAGAs who only believe what Fox News tells them is the truth and provides them with their talking points after Trump's "stream of consciousness" ?
