38. During Trump's first installation in the White House
Mon Nov 3, 2025, 07:40 PM
Nov 3

I was wishing I was a Zillionaire, and could mail a Copy of ANIMAL FARM, to every single address in America.
It is written so that even a third grader could match it to what the Republicans/Trump were doing in America.
I wouldn't have sent 1984, because it takes a much much higher intellectual capability to read 1984, much less understand it.

My personal feeling is that Orwell got it wrong in 1984, it isn't the government that we had to watch out for, it was the CORPORATIONS we had to watch out for to make sure they didn't take over the government.
Simplest definition of Fascism is the merger of Corporations and Government which is what the Republicans have accomplished.
