(115,900 posts)55 in DC in January is unusual so they're making up their own snow to pretend it's not 55. The "snowflakes" were added by His Lardship himself with his white Sharpie pen.

Case in point. The picture above. Optics, visuals, trump any narrative. Karl Rove actually bragged about this, crowing about how a good picture can overpower bad press.
They are pushing our buttons, the ones beneath the surface, searching for our automatic responses. Responses so deep in our subconscious that we don't even recognize them. "Gut" responses that bypass our logic and morals.

(21,646 posts)The new ration did not start till tomorrow and [Winston] had only four cigarettes left. For the moment he had shut his ears to the remoter noises and was listening to the stuff that streamed out of the telescreen. It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours?
Was he, then, ALONE in the possession of a memory?
