You're about 80% right, but things are actually worse today. One reason is specifically because Obama signed into law the legalization of propaganda against American citizens. It was a treasonous, despicable act, and we're seeing the fruits of that play out now. Besides the government itself, you have political groups doing the same thing and they've essentially weaponized the use of social media and mass media sources. Silicon Valley is all to happy to go along with it because it happens to suit their goals.

You are right. I liked Obama - still do, mostly - but that was one of the acts that will have a disproportionate negative impact in years to come. Possibly it will be more of a legacy than anything else he did.
