I think a comment by a former co-worker applies here:
“You are not paranoid if someone is really out to get you.”
The citizens of this country, especially conservative citizens, have more reason to be worried than the government and the military. . . IMHO
The question becomes, “Whose paranoia is more justified?”
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you

> You are not paranoid if someone is really out to get you.
If it seems that someone is out to get you, they probably are.
