Hope
Perhaps when the deterioration of the life styles of enough Americans exceeds some critical point, enough people will be jolted into rethinking their political views, recognize what happened, and act to turn things around. We can only hope that this process begins before irreparable damage has been done to the environment, or to our social structure, and that the reversal takes place nonviolently.
As a footnote; a study of various ways that people acquire wrong ideas is the subject of a very interesting, concise book by social psychologist Thomas Gilovich [11].
