Sure, some vanishingly small percentage but the vast majority of people who voted for him are still in the cult.

as I have gotten older, the more and more I realize that the story of 1984 isn't really a warning for the general masses but more of a warning to those people that are easily manipulated. The two main characters are so compliant in their suffering.
