I suspect when living under a system experiencing nearly miraculous economic growth people are less political and more willing to look the other way with potential abuses.

Growth leads to a lot of things being a lot better for a lot of people.

If that ever slows down though I think there will be trouble.

It's good to think long term, but removing term limits seems to increase risk around transitions of power. Though at the moment I suppose they could point to the US's current political situation as a reason you can't trust the public to have unfiltered access to the internet with elections.
