3. uh, most Americans sit in front of the boob tube during their free time |

So if they sit down to watch the Jets game, and every commercial break has 3 things advertised that the watcher desires (a steak dinner, a new SUV, and a cool tech device) and the 4th commercial is a political ad about how (Universal health care) will destroy America the Great.
Most Americans care much more about the Jets game, the SUV, the cool tech device, and the steak dinner then they do politics. So if they get hammered enough by propaganda, they may (these are non-voters) vote based on these ads.
America is comfortable, even in decline.
