But isn't that list flawed in the aspect that an large amount of the population is anti-Bush and the press is keeping the population at least somewhat informed about his behavior.....
...Plus many people have stopped listening to anything that comes out of that man's mouth an long time ago.
Bush isn't the problem (well he is, but not in that way), he's merely the opening act. While relatively few people support him anymore, a quick look through any right-wing conservative message board or blog will reveal that support for such things as the Patriot Act, as well as the secret prisons and warrantless wiretapping are still disturbingly widespread.
So there's no way Bush will be the next Hitler, in fact we may not even see him/her for decades if at all. But what Bush has done is greased up the process. So when America forgets about Bush's horrible presidency and elects another neocon he/she/it (most likely the latter
) can take what Bush did a little farther. They'll subvert more checks and balances, institute even more easily abused laws, and make it far easier for the next one to take over. Continue this as many times as necessary and you have a fascist dictatorship ruling over a population completely acclimated to tyranny.
God help us if the neocons find someone as charismatic and well spoken as Obama.
