Three Percent?

You've heard of these folks, right? They are up there with the proud Boys and The Oath Keepers. Once recognized, you'll spot their iconography.

Their thesis, and rally cry, is that only three percent of the population during the Revolutionary War was needed to oust the Crown from the Colonies.

The fact that that is bullshit doesn't matter. But it is an important point. It does not take a majority to change a country in radical ways. A motivated minority can, and has, changed history, numerous times.
