After a while the public becomes accustomed to corrupt, unaccountable government.
One of the most damaging propaganda successes has been the association of super patriotism with outrageous criminal conduct. One of the best examples is Iran Contra and the Reagan administration's self righteous defense of their conduct. In the Bush 43 years the playbook was dusted off and once again Executive Branch corruption was spun as the height of patriotism.
