That is what *every* "power in place" -- democratic or pretending to be - is counting on, according to my commie-Poland and US experience :) With "viele gute grunde" to support such belief in your (and everyone else's) dim-wittedness and willingness to be be deceived... Or, if you're not deceived, in your willingness to sputter at home and do nothing in public...
