Language, Ideology, and Totalitarianism: Rereading Orwell’s 1984 in the Context of Trump’s Presidency

Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden: The Race for 2024 US Presidential Election America goes to the polls in less than a year. Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden, the two formidable candidates from the Republican and Democratic parties, respectively, are out in the field all guns blazing trying to woe voters. The cutthroat 2024 presidential election offers no easy pickings for Biden whose mismanagement of the war in Gaza has bloated his statesman image for which he was voted to power back in 2019, which seems to have drifted voters, especially from left and Muslim camps, away from Democrats and in favour of the Republican party. But, what Trump's win would entail for Americans and the rest of the world, is open for debate. You cannot rule out Trump's diabolical inclinations for the erosion of democratic institutions. His narcissistic rambling as offputting as they are, often reeks of authoritarianism. Ramifications of autocratic Trump winning the presidential race include far-reaching dire consequences for America's freedom-loving and democratic population. Trump's dangerousness lies in that he wants to be an autocrat. His dislike for democracy means he won't shy away from holding American institutes hostage to his selfish and delusional fantasies, and go the extra mile to subvert their constitutional and professional integrity. It doesn't matter what your voting preferences are, giving this book a thorough read before you cast your vote will clear the air about what it means to vote for Donald J. Trump this time.
