3. well, it's lasted this long and nobody rose up against it
so, i guess the sleeping, complacent masses could put up with another 4 or even 40 years of it. it's a sad but true statement about the american public in general. you've got everything from the freepers, fundies and other white trash that will accept fascism with open arms to the complacent middle class that has just enough material wealth and comfort that they don't want to risk anything they have by rocking the boat. the people suffering the most are the poor and they just don't have the means to organize or find any support and the "man" knows how to keep them in check by keeping the middle class afraid of them and keeping the fundies and freepers and rednecks hating them.
