Mostly because the vast majority are so easily manipulated.
I mean when Bush first ran for president it was so god damn obvious that this man would not under any circumstances be able to contribute anything remotely good to America.
How the hell >50% could be manipulated to, or be stupid enough to, believe in his way of doing things is just a riddle to me.
The whole world was standing on it's toes shouting this to America and all alarm clocks were ringing loud and fucking clear.
The general natoinalism and glorification of their own country also seem to do it for me from time to time hehe
There's a fine line between beeing a proud citizen and a stupid self loving smuck.
Oh... I also seem to find a little hate from time to time when I see people who are not even able to point out IRAQ on a map and thinks we should make a glass cradle out of it.
Stuff like that you know
