Not in my opinion. Other Freepers have commented on the rise of Hitler in Germany in the 1930ies and how each step led to more central control and rubber stamped by the peoples legislative representatives. The impossibility of the late 30ies and 40ies were accomplished by the taking over of all public imstrumentalities and media by Hitler's agents a decade before. Could the same thing happen here - we are on the same course.
Lucky we currently have nearly instant access to information. But, that can be cut off instantly as well.
