Jesus bloody Christ... You know how coups are normally done AGAINST a government? This is effectively the opposite of that - a coup against the public. Never in my wildest nightmares would I have thought it would come to, in Australia... We're a lost cause, at this point. - Kotaku In Action 2

Midwits and the fairly intelligent are easy to brainwash. Stupid people can be manipulated, with emotion, but they are often stubbornly critical of people trying to manipulate them against their own interests. Smart people rationalize, and once they've consented to "believe" something they've been convinced is good, they refuse to admit they've just been programmed. They're too smart for that, and there's too much of a "house of cards" supporting that position.
