Exactly! "Back then", it was a lot easier for them to get away it; now, thanks to some in the media who understand what their role in democracy is, they are kept under the microscope.
Europeans, as an example, are much more engaged in the political process than the average American and that is why in many ways, the people have more power "over there" We do not pay enough attention to politics and don`t stand up for ourselves enough. Complacency leads to the yoke of tyranny.
