Some people remember–and sometimes these things make it into the general cultural fabric in ways less dramatic than we might hope.
Ask anyone under 40 if they think they have privacy–and delve into what that word means to them. It won't be the same answer you'd have got in 2000. Likewise, ask any parent if there's an elected official–from comptroller to POTUS–who they would feel safe letting babysit their children.
What good does it do that everybody is vaguely aware that the powers that be aren't trustworthy if the same sumbitches are still in power and nothing has changed to prevent them from being in power?
Its not enough, but it's not nothing. It widens horizons of action and makes people more hostile to power–less likely to snitch, at the very least.
If you really want to delve into it–It's not their king, but we at least got one of their bishops, or something.
