body politic

A group of enfranchised individuals who delude themselves into thinking that their vote actually counts for something, every time an election occurs.

George W treated the body politic like Nero treated the masses of Rome - by providing Bread and Circuses - in order to disguise the real issues (or an actual lack of them).
