Do you want to see your teeth while you are brushing them?

Once history is fixed, Winston drops contradictory materials into ‘the memory hole,’ a small opening near every desk that leads to a furnace, where the inconvenient past is quickly incinerated.”
“Leaders of the current GOP presumably do not have such memory holes in their offices, but they’re doing their best to replicate the effect.
