If the critics said nothing?

Nobody would say anything about NSA spying, nobody would mention saving Social Security, nobody would mention secret trade treaties, nobody would mention going into Syria, nobody would mention more tax cuts for the wealthy, nobody would mention the Occupy Movement, nobody would mention the massive spending on the military, nobody would mention the cuts in food stamps, nobody would mention the oil spills, nobody would mention the growing disparity in income, nobody would talk about saving Medicare, and nobody would talk about corporations taking over our country.
And nobody would would say anything negative about favorite politicians, and nobody would mention Guantanamo prisoners, nobody would talk about Constitutional rights, nobody would talk about standing up to the opposition, nobody would mention the free press, nobody would talk about equality and making this a better country to live in for all our citizens.
Because many are too fearful to say anything negative about their Party. It is like a game. Their team against our team. Cheerleaders all.
And would we be better off if there were no critics? Give me the loudmouth critics over the mushy-mouthed cheerleaders any day of the week.

I've seen a large rise in people leaving the party and going underground. What's most interesting about that is that the groups I've seen are not founded around a leader, they're founded on various principles and information sharing/combined effort.
We have to assume at some point it will be like the Bush Era- 25% diehard support from the 20% who are following the myth of the party and 5% who are aware of what they are doing and support it because it helps them.
I was more than a little scared when the meme was pushed during elections that we follow the personality we most like, and then adopt their values.
Unless you were lumping it in with oil spills. Otherwise, spot on.
