I do not believe that a totalitarian society could exist because the fact that the United States has such a diverse population of people. Knowing that I do not believe it would be easy to have someone in charge try to control everything from people's beliefs all the way down to family. With a huge population it would take a while for totalitarianism to spread and to even catch on with people without force. The Thought Police and there ability to basically take anyone away just based on what they think. I do not think many people would like the fact of someone having the power to just take someone away because they are just guessing pretty much that they are thinking against Big Brother or whatever major figure is in power. Also we have been in a democracy for a huge part of U.S. history. Other than the fact that we had to fight against a tyrant of England to allow our freedom. With the history of fighting against the country that settled america (England) to gain our freedom and so I believe the people here already would not agree with a totalitarian society.
