I don't see what the snake-oil peddlers might come up with, though.  Falling for quick fixes is not a fault limited to Americans.  It's universal in democratic politics, because the best strategy is almost always to promise everything without addressing costs.  Everyone wants quick fixes, and everyone is prone to forcing themselves to believe that the quick fixes will work.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
