I think people either ignore such similarities or simply lean on the defense that the world could not possibly progress to such a point in 4 years and thus are content to let Bush play his game for another term. I believe Ben Franklin had a fairly famous quote that insinuates that we, in our current state, are not worthy of liberty because we are giving up freedom in favor of safety.
I would argue that right now, we shouldn't be fearing 1984, but the progression toward it.
