George Orwell said

George Orwell said the further society drifts from the truth, the more those who speak it will be hated. Kinda explains why the far left hates President Trump. Especially the likes of Pelosi and Schumer.
lol... Someone isn't paying attention.

Is that an 'alternative fact'?

What is the definition we are using?

I myself dont use that term, we Truth Tellers deal in True/Not True, seeking and following the True.
 
Trump, the most honest guy to come down the Pike in a very long while.

Well we all know that’s horse****, which puts you right in there with tRump. Which illustrates the constant theme of all your posts, the denigration of These United States.
 
The brutal truth is often hurtful.


That's why some people (often called "liberals") become very upset with people (often called "conservatives") who dare speak the brutal truth.


President Trump would be less "disliked" today if he tempered his statements.

E.g., he used the term "illegal alien" during the State of the Union.

That is correct, but it is very hurtful to many liberals, who say that no human is "illegal" and the word "alien" seems to imply they come from outer space.

They prefer "undocumented immigrant" or even better simply "migrant." If the President had used those terms instead, he could have lowered the temperature a bit.

Maybe all of us (including the President) should try harder to speak the truth in more gentle ways.

They went from “illegal aliens “, to
“illegal immigrants “, to “undocumented immigrants”, to “dreamers”. Oh yeah, don’t forget the 40 year old “DACA “kids”.🙄

Wow, did you nail it. So many conservatives and fascists on this site hate liberals. They often create threads attacking "leftists".

All because those who aren't fascists and far right conservatives dare to point out the truth: That Trump is a conman and a racist and a generally disgusting example of a human being.

Orwell had no use for politicians in general, nor anyone else whose language amounted to sheer wind.

Everyone now apparently wants to claim him - but in life he fought for the Spanish government (in the International Brigade) in the Spanish Civil War, was shot & nearly died of his wounds, & then had to flee the country (because he noticed that the USSR was taking over the resistance to Franco by all means available, including assassination; & he would not keep quiet about it). Orwell's sympathies lay with the Left - but that wouldn't have stopped him from denouncing the Left, if he saw that they needed to be denounced.

& he returned from Spain a fierce anti-Stalinist, & again, did not hide the fact.

Was this meant to be ironic?
