Shitloads of people are losing their jobs right now, and getting denied loans, and losing money in the stock market.  They won't be forgetting this in 4 weeks.

 

Indeed, people have the fear that the struggling economy will begin to affect them if it hasn't already, and fear tends to stick around in the average voter's mind longer than just about any other emotion.

 

First off, its not about forgetting or losing all fear of something that I'm talking about ... What I'm refering to is how things (quite rapidly) lose their impact down the road. Much like grief, people will encounter a variety of emotions when something happens in their personal lives or in society in general. How important something seems, and how that makes them feel, may be very different for most people today as compared to a month from now.
