been here since shortly after the invasion, only registered a short time ago. There are a lot of striking similarities between that book and this administration. The use of hate to fire up patriotism. The glorification of abstinence (wouldn't want people to waste energy on sex when it can be used by the state). The idea that the party creates reality. The way the party can change its message and no one notices, just go ignorantly along. Oh, and of course, none of the ruling class have, to quote Cindy, "skins in the game".
