Is this a real question?

Yes and the sad thing is I went to Sac State and majored in government aka political science. We either didn’t learn about this or I wasn’t paying attention.

I know Ronald Reagan was president in 1984. What else happened?? Space force.. excuse my ignorance.

It's a book written by George Orwell. Basically the original dystopian future. It's almost like they used it as a blueprint. If reading isn't your thing, it's also a movie https ://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tTP1Tcwzi4wyjFg9OIytLQwUcjNL8tMBQBIMAZW&q=1984+movie&oq=1984+&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0i433i457j46i433l2j46i131i433.10898j1j7&client=ms-android-verizon&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

I love to read. I have nothing to do but eat today. My husband is at work. Sounds like a plan. To be fair I searched all over the internet before making this comment. 😭

No worries, it's probably half scrubbed by now anyway LOL. It is a good read. Just scary as hell in comparison to today. Another one of the same caliber you may see is Farenheight 451.

Bro read my comment. I searched even before asking. I didn’t know it was a fictional book relating to what’s going on in the world.... Lots of coincidences. I figured it had to do with the Soviet Union. Ronald Reagan was president and it was the beginning of really space with the international space station. I don’t have conservative friends, just my parents and they only know what’s on Fox News. I went to Sac State University. Every professor I had was nauseatingly liberal. You have to understand a lot of people are here because of the odd loss of the election. We have virgin ears and brains. We only know what we are told to believe. If you can help open our eyes and show us the truth, do that. Don’t make us feel stupid because we didn’t know we were being lied to. That is the difference between democrats and republicans. At least democrats tell you, republicans make you feel stupid because you don’t know censored information.

Like trump says at his rally’s you have to respect the fact that at least democrats stick together. Our party doesn’t.

Right on pede. Point taken, my bad.

What I find disappointing as you’ve majored in poli-sci, never was George Orwell’s 1984 EVER discussed. It is the dystopian hell of authoritarianism but still rooted in a political sphere. Big tech, censorship, “hate speech”. It’s all there

I sadly haven’t heard of it until today. 😢 Super disappointing. My college experience as a Trump supporter was complete hell. I planned on going to law school but was so beat down after finishing, I gave up. I couldn’t even have an opinion. It drained me.

I have learned so much the past few weeks, I am forever grateful for this group. I found my people.

What an incredible story. It is definitely scary.

Be certain you’re on the right side of history and NEVER apologize.
