Just, wow! This is worse than Biden talking about having the most widespread voter fraud organization.


"...On November 12, Kamala Harris was happy to emit this saccharine Tweet:

Hope.

Unity.

Decency.

Truth.

These are the ideals that will guide a [Biden–Harris] administration.

An alert commentator provided some illuminating historical context from the Left’s latest how-to manual, George Orwell’s Nineteen-Eighty-Four:

Winston turned a switch and the voice sank somewhat, though the words were still distinguishable. The instrument (the telescreen, it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off completely …

HOPE

UNITY

DECENCY

EMPATHY

TRUTH

EXPERTS

SCIENCE..."

You know this is easily checked, right? There is no list of words after that first part. I checked the book and this Tweet sums it up:

"This is not a direct quote from the book. The list of words are not from 1984. In the book, the three slogans of the party are:

WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

I'll have to check. People with tweets lie. Maybe the one the article quoted lied. Maybe yours lied.

You can read this book online. For instance, here is an easy to search text version. Just use Find on Page to check for the word Unity, as a start. It only appears once and is not in a list. The rest are just as part of the words community and opportunity.

Decency doesn't even appear in the book.
