It does come down to living in a bubble, but the bubble is absolutely huge; as the other replier said, it stretches from coast to coast. We're also heavily propagandized everywhere we turn -- whenever I turn on big media news sources, it blows my mind how this stuff is presented as "news," yet there you go. We're also under-educated, which makes appeals to things like "make it a fair tax" feasible, where we'll go along with whoever says that (where fair almost always means regressive).
