You may have been aware of what went on but most people are like the frog in the pot. And at the same time the illusion of a strong middle class was there.

If you study the methodology of Dictatorships you'll understand that the message from the leaders and the reality are very different. Why do you think Saddam had 'elections' in which he won by almost 100%. It was to fool the people.

Non violent coups are not simple affairs that are open things that the general public can easily see. It's more complicated than trying to make Americans out to be too stupid to get it. Americans are no different than every other human being on the planet. When you live in a gilded cage it isn't easy to see how bad it is.
