Before he wrote his classic novel, 1984, George Orwell wrote an essay where he put it that political speech was increasingly becoming distorted so as to “defend the indefensible;” and used to support that which, in its clear and obvious meaning, would never be supported.

We see this everywhere now: 
killing an unborn child today is “reproductive rights”
the effort to change person’s sex is labeled “gender affirmation”
violence is “mostly peaceful”
Peaceful and patriotic marching is “insurrection” and:
freedom of speech is purportedly protected by “disinformation governance boards.”

Once you take away the ordinary meaning of things, once you distort clear language or a phrase for its opposite, Orwell warned, you can convince people of things that would otherwise never support. That’s how an unborn child became a “fetus” after all. 

Orwell opened his famous novel instructing that war is peace and slavery is freedom.  It’s all around us now, which is why we have a saying here: MOFA—Make Orwell Fiction Again.
