was watch Fox News and listen to hate radio, one would probably believe that President Obama is the Antichrist, or at least a reincarnation of Hitler/Stalin and that America has been transformed into either Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union (or soon will be)- ignoring the total lack of evidence of President Obama's opponents- hate radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Republicans and right-wingers- being persecuted and/or thrown into concentration camps/gulags. If President Obama is a dictator, he's a VERY lousy one- letting all these people run around free to attack and denounce him. Most dictators don't tolerate dissent very well. Of course, for some reason (i.e. Fox News), some people just keep on believing that we're living under some kind of fascist/socialist dictatorship completely ignoring the mountains of evidence that American democracy has not underwent any kind of dramatic shifts in terms of people's daily lives and experiences. Of course, though, where is the fun in acknowledging the obvious reality for most people when you can manufacture paranoid fantasies and delusions to live under?
