One of the most effective aspects of the Trump campaign’s critique of the Biden regime was that it was authoritarian, bent on framing its principal opponent on various bogus crimes and destroying the freedom of speech by forcing Americans to accept a wide array of falsehoods, chief among them being that men can become women and legitimately star in women’s sports. Numerous patriots termed this leftist authoritarianism “Orwellian” and have continued to do so, and the New York Times is clearly feeling the sting.

Leftists, after all, thought they owned Orwell, and that any totalitarian regime that resembled the one in 1984 would come from the right. On Saturday, the Times feebly and petulantly tried to make the case that it is Trump and his supporters, not leftists, who are really Orwellian.
If it sounds like a fool’s errand, that’s only because it is. The leftist flagship that insisted on referring to guys such as Rachel Levine and Caitlyn Jenner as if they were really the women they wish they were now expects you to believe that the real manipulation of language is to be found in “Trump’s airbrushing of the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol as a ‘beautiful day’ and the pardoning of violent rioters who, he said, had ‘love in their hearts,’” which, the Times insists, “recalls one of Orwell’s quotes: ‘The past is whatever the Party chooses to make it.’”
See, the Times can call Trump’s words about Jan. 6 “Orwellian” because it is familiar with the old leftist tactic of accusing the enemy of doing what the accuser is actually doing himself. The left, with the Grey Lady leading the way, fabricated the entire Jan. 6 “insurrection” narrative out of a guy with Viking horns walking around and some elderly ladies snapping selfies in the Capitol rotunda after the police opened the doors and ushered them in. Now this is “the deadly Jan. 6 attack,” even though the only person who was actually killed on that day was a Trump supporter, Ashli Babbitt.
