520 |a The administration of George W. Bush mobilized support, in part, through its use of what media theorist Richard Grusin calls premediation, the evocation of potential futures in an attempt to modulate affective states.

Bush, like the apocalypticists before him, used vague, disastrous premonitions to engender vulnerability and fear, thus encouraging an unquestioning acceptance of authoritarian rule. The Bush administration's premediatory strategy is best exemplified by two of its most famous campaign ads, along with the colour-coded terror alert system it introduced.
