Like at the end of 1984, when Winston was asked how many fingers the interrogator is holding, he must answer "three" even if the guard is only holding up two fingers. That is the sort of control they want. They want you to believe women are men, only black lives have value, all white people are evil from birth, etc.
They aim to destroy anyone who stands in their way, they will get you fired from your job, force you out of business, close down every web account you have set up, get you expelled from your school or college, even get your bank accounts closed down. They will print your name and address in the media, so thugs will come and vandalize your home. Then they will do the same to all your friends and family, unless they "disavow" and distance themselves from you.
At this point, I'm not sure what lawful avenues are left other than voting.
It is deliberate, it is an expression of power.
