17. The country HAS moved to the right
Sorry, it is not propaganda. When a clown talking about privatizing Social Security isn't rejected by 70% of the voters, you know the right has grown. Most people probably hold somewhat liberal positions on the environment, but a big chunk of them have no problem voting for a scourge like Bush*. It's the same on many issues.

Sure, no one wants to be a slave to corporations, but the majority vote the way that makes it more likely. The Repugs control virtually all of government.

The right has been winning with: "No one wants to be a slave to the government." And that simplistic worldview has trumped all else.
