'Cause it's all right.

So in Hungary, the population discovers that their government has been egregiously and repeatedly lying to them, and there are riots. In Thailand, there is a bloodless coup removing a Prime Minister's administration which the military claims 'was rife with corruption and had divided the nation'.(Edit: I forgot to add 'electoral manipulation'.)
Luckily, things are going smoothly here.

I know... WTH?!?!

I'm still appalled that something like 65% of my fellow Americans are cool with the government illegally collecting our call logs, just so long as those damned Iraqis don't terrorize us anymore! WAHHH!

Let's face it, Americans don't focus well. Or we're really stupid.

Also geography plays a large part in this. The U.S. is a pretty big place. It's a real hassle for me to visit the seat of power.

Good to note, the Thai's have a history of military coups (although not recently).
