If this is what a tyranical dictator looks like, then I must say it's not as bad as I thought (legal, conspiracy)

Logic and moonbattery don't mix. The delusional liberal mind can't comprehend it.

Every RWNJ call FDR a dictator also. It's nothing new and in fact it's as old and as worn out as all of the rest of their ideas.

Pointing out that you can publicly insult the "dictator" without any consequences is not a deflection but proof that this is not a dictatorship.

The average citizen won't notice a difference between a dictatorship or a democracy.

Right. Only insane paranoids believe we live in a dictatorship.

I don't blame them, if you can make racist statements towards the dictator, insult him and his family, buy as many weapons as you can afford, and rant all day long about what a horrible country we live in, then I'd say a dicatorship isn't that oppressive.

I lean to the left, not something I care to share on a public forum, it's better kept between me and my tailor. Oh heck, now it's out.

It could be much worse - see 2001-2008 (under the guise of a "compassionate conservative", no less)

You realize you just discredited yourself w/this little post, right?

Do you think every citizen who insulted Stalin or Hitler was dealt with? The state simply doesn't have the resources to do that. Only important people get targeted.

But ask yourself this, remember the youtube video of the guy ranting about Obama? Only for the SS to visit him the next day? Try to tell me we're a free country with a straight face.
