Bush, fascism, standard of living, jobs - what if?

[Deja Q]

If the Standard of living for middle class Americans wasn't disappearing left'n'right due to outsourcing and other factors based on selfish greed, would the public not care about any goofy thing Bushco* would be doing?

1. I think they'd still care about torture

no matter how good their lives were going.

[Warpy]

3. Right, that is deeply disturbing many folks who are still comfy

and think their jobs are safe. It's completely contrary to what all those feel-good civics and history texts told them this country was all about.

2. Iraq.

They'd still care about "Iraq-nam", and I think too many people feel about offshoring/lack of jobs in this country, "if it doesn't affect me personally, so what?".

4. I doubt it

the public by and large doesn't seem to care about what they're doing even with all this shit going on. Mussolini at least had to make the trains run on time, America seems to have no such expectations of Bush. Truly, Bush is Reagans heir inasmuch as he's tapped into the 'feel good is better than do good' that seems to be the american drug of choice lately.
Then again, if the middle class weren't getting screwed then this wouldn't really be a Bush administration would it?
