Some say the term is overused, but the US is currently Orwellian. Yes, the protectors of the status quo continually amplify a flood of filtered, ahistorical, exceptionalist, imperial claptrap. But they also occasionally reverse course and pretend they have always thought thus - obviously weak-minded citizens are misremembering what they heard last month or last year. Looking forward to Anti-vaxxer Hate Week and the newest edition of the Newspeak dictionary!
