When I read about the poll, and some of the posts here, what comes to mind is "Every country has the government it deserves". It will get worse here, and most people will just be okay with that, as long as they have their "toys" (Guns, 3D-printer, latest cell phone) and a comfortable life. Something like the May '68 in France or the protests in Brasil would never, ever happen here.
