Programmed by their corporate masters and the mainstream media, the corporatists never even consider this use of language as a propaganda tool, the same way they never consider the reality that their boy Bush stole both presidential elections, that he uses the Constitution of the United States like toilet paper, and that he is a war criminal responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Instead they continue to believe that liberals and secularists cause all the problems in America and the country would be a better off without them.
The Uninformed: Unlike the fatalists who know better but do nothing, or the corporatists who are brainwashed into acting counter to their own best interests, the uninformed don't know anything about the political process-- and don't want to know anything about it. They don't read or ask questions or use critical thinking skills. They just live their lives from hand to mouth and hope for the best.
No one knows for sure how many people fall into this category, but there are millions of them. Most of them live their lives in fear and in quiet desperation. Many of them are poor and underprivileged and work at dead end jobs, the very people who should vote en masse to try to change their lots in life. But they don't because they are preoccupied with day-to-day survival.
Well, there you have it-- the enablers of fascism in a nutshell. The question is, how do we motivate the fatalists, deprogram the corporatists, and encourage the uniformed to become informed by the next election so we can put America back on a path back to democracy?
One thing is for sure, we'd better not depend on the Democratic Party for action. As of this writing, they still have not started impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney and still have not stopped funding the U.S. occupation of Iraq-- which, regrettably, makes them the most egregious enablers of fascism of them all.
