Kellyanne Goebbels -- excuse me, Conway coined the spectacularly-fraudulent oxymoron "alternative facts".

The other: Donald Trump said to the CIA that it would be wise to seize the oil of counties that the United States defeats in war. Chris Matthews pointed out that the USA went to war with Saddam Hussein's  Iraq over the invasion of Kuwait because Hussein intended to take Kuwaiti oil assets.

George Orwell and Hannah Arendt are becoming relevant to a country that we never expected them to be relevant.

Any current prognostication and hyperbole regarding the Trump Admin aside, most Americans might know who Orwell is, but have no clue about Arendt or her brilliant analyses. BTW - Arendt was one of my favorites.

I think most people know who Hitler was too.
