The far right keeps referencing 1984, not realizing the irony.

Memory Hole - Deliberately erasing or distorting events inconvenient to your narrative. (Antifa was there?)

Doublethink - Accepting contrary views simultaneously (private companies can censor cakes but not posts)
Newspeak - Ambiguous binary language that diminishes complex thought by limiting extent of expression (Trump and Twitter)

Could go on, but the fact that far-rightists equate 1984 with "big government" is practically Newspeak itself.
Another example of Doublethink - Biden stole the election with rigged votes that somehow didn't impact Senate and House races in the same states (and on the same ballots)
So next time I hear a far-right pundit say "Orwellian"

Think of the lady who was shot in the Capitol building, who left a decade of social media posts documenting her far right views, as well as years of QAnon supporting posts now being Memory Hole'd as an Antifa plant.
