How Obama turns good people evil

I came across a post on Boing Boing today that talked about the famous Stanford Prison Experiment done by Philip Zimbardo. Zimbardo was presenting on the subject of evil at the TED 2008 conference, and he used a slide titled "7 Social Processes That Grease the Slippery Slope of Evil." As I glanced at the seven processes, it struck me that they are also the steps that every Obamaton goes through on their descent into madness. Let's examine each step:

1.) Mindlessly taking the first small step: This is easy enough, like when a nascent Obamaton visits barackobama.com out of curiosity

2.) Dehumanization of others: After the brainwashing process begins at the web site, then the Obamaton will begin to deride his or her Clinton-supporting friends with hurtful names.

3.) De-individuation of self: The Obamaton will attend an Obama rally and start believing in trite sayings that speak to the group, such as "we are the change we have been waiting for."

4.) Diffusion of personal responsibility: The Obamaton will begin to think that they can offload their responsibility to make America a better place through sacrifice to Obama, who will change and fix everything that is wrong with the country, even with no experience and no specific plans. All the Obamaton has to do is a) hope and b) believe.

5.) Blind obedience to authority: Obama: "Vote for me!" Obamaton (in monotone zombie voice): "Yes, I will vote for you."

6.) Uncritical conformity to group norms: Obamaton: "Like, omg!!1! All of my bff's are voting for Obama, so I will too!"

7.) Passive tolerance of evil through through inaction or indifference: When Obama lies about Hillary's record (NAFTA being a "boon" to Ohio, etc.), Obamatons will sit back and say nothing, even though their savior candidate is supposed to be "new" and "different" and certainly well above engaging in politics like that.

Yes, I think this all adds up to evil.
