The religious right functions like Emmanuel Goldstein in much of the social liberal rhetoric we hear today.
Except that the religious right is real rather than fictional, an organization rather than an individual, and incredibly politically powerful rather than a fake boogeyman used to scare the masses. But sure, otherwise this is LITERALLY 1984.
What decade do you live in?
The religious right elected a President in 2016. And just last year the religious right got one of their favourite justices appointed to SCOTUS, replacing a liberal.
