14. Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. Newspeak was invented by Orwell, in 1984, as the official language of Ingsoc, English Socialism. But elements of Ur-Fascism are common to different forms of dictatorship. All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning. But we must be ready to identify other kinds of Newspeak, even if they take the apparently innocent form of a popular talk show.

Sara Sanders says, "The president has made it perfectly CLEAR"...."
No, Sara, he has NOT made it "clear".
Clearly he lives in a fog of delusion and fantasy.
Your job is to spin his disastrous behavior into possible acceptance within his base.
How long, O Simple Ones, will you love being simple?
