When
“misspeaking” is really doublethinking
Trump’s team is ramping-up their
efforts to delegitimize the press and maybe taking a page out of George Orwell's playbook. In
Orwell’s dystopia, 1984, the workers
in the Ministry of Truth practice doublethinking
when they falsify public records, and then believe in the new history that they
themselves have just rewritten. It
appears that Trump’s proxies are using, or are trapped within, a comparable
system of doublethink.
