Orwell again

From the most recent installment of Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American :

That both DHS and Trump posted false accounts of the shooting [of Renee Nicole Gold] even as there are four videos circulating that reveal those accounts to be lies shows they no longer are making any attempt to justify their actions. Instead, they are demanding Americans abandon reality in favor of whatever the administration says. If this works, it would be a demonstration of totalitarian power, the ability to control how people think. Accepting that lie is a loyalty test.

But it is not working.

Orwell again: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
