Rewriting history and books is actually exactly what's happening in Florida under ostensibly fascist rule, which is precisely what Orwell was referring to.

I don't want my street named after a slave owner, period. No, it doesn't destroy history to change it. History recorded safely, in many other places, is exactly why street names and books are being updated - to include more accurate, less sugar-coated retellings of history.

If you have a problem with the increased scrutiny and exposure of how deeply our systematic failures run, you're the problem.
