If you mean that "elected president is literally Hitler" and related themes have been mainstreamed so thoroughly and quickly as to be the new normal already... I think you should be afraid of the power of the press more than of any merely elected president.
- croon 10y agoHitler wasn't Hitler when he was appointed. A multi-car pile-up isn't one 5 minutes before it happens either. I agree that one shouldn't cry wolf and exaggerate too often, but it's equally ignorant to not take things seriously, whether it be a fact-opposing president, mass surveillence legislation or anti consumer net unneutrality, that are all just steps that are hard to reverse once in place, and are building towards something much worse.
