Kind of weird since the first thing I thought of when I read it in school was how much it was like the society Democrats were trying to create.

The point is: the rioters, the assaults, etc. Are doing more harm than Trump actuallyrics is doing.

Or like East Germany during the Cold War.

And in the year 1984 itself, liberals accused Ronald Reagan of seeking to create the Orwellian state (?).

Look up the 1955 British film “1984”. Ultimate film noir spooky.

FRmail me if you'd rather not post the info to the thread, but what year did you read 1984 ?

I had to read it too, but that thought never crossed my mind and for good reason.
