I don’t know about Hispanics, but something I find very creepy is that Americans seem to like this Hugo Chavez nutty caudillo approach.
I think the stage was set for this by Obama, who essentially has turned the U.S. Government into a one-man show, crushed his enemies, and simply proclaimed his own bizarre policies, doing away with minor hindrances such as legislative approval or actually working to develop good policies. He relies on his little band of rabid followers - blacks - to create enough social disturbance to threaten the rest of the populace and he keeps things stirred up and angry, assigning one group (whites) to the enemy-of-the-people category. This is true caudillo style.
The problem is that now Americans have come to see this as an acceptable and even desirable thing.
