Militia groups prepare for armed revolt if Clinton wins: ‘Last chance to save America from ruin’

37. Their radical "Three percent" against 97% of the rest of the population?

If they don't plan on "disposing" of more than half the country one way or another, what do they expect to accomplish?
Honestly, for all their talk about being righteous, they've made their world is so fucking small, it's pretty much a serious insult to any deity that could potentially create the world, not to mention the universe...they're on the level of spoiled four year olds playing with GI Joe dolls, they are.

I know, I know....less than half the American colonists cared about who was in charge, and of the third or so who actually did care enough to stand for either being an independent nation or an English colony, the majority were for independence by a very small margin.

But what most people don't realize that based on the small population at the time, while only 3% of the Americans were leading the call for Revolution, there still needed to be at least around 15% of Americans taking a strong political or social based stance for the Revolution to be successful; 10% of Americans were still either part of or making money supporting the English Army and Crown. and that was the number the Revolutionaries had to contend with.
The rest of Americans in the English Colonies were really just farmers or small business men/manufacturing efforts who wanted to be left alone to maintain a reasonable level of comfort for the most part. They might or might not have been upset enough at Crown revenuers or British Venture Capital corporations that had been using the Colonies to shore up their expenditures elsewhere around the world - or likewise upset at the official prejudice against class backgrounds or religious preferences. It was a matter of who had the most convincing argument.
If the Revolutionaries could offer better legal rights, trade and class mobility conditions than under the English Crown, enough of the latter could be persuaded to join, or at least not hinder, rebellion from a distant ruler and enable it to be successful.

Things are much different now. With this amount of population, I would venture it would take at least 30% of the population taking a strong, active stance to sway public opinion on one subject enough to make a revolutionary change in either society or government. And even then, you'll have 20% - 30% of the population that will remain opposed to that change.

The current anti- "3%" is pretty much at the proportion of the population who publically identify as atheist level - and that's not even to the proportion of population based on people who actively identify as LGBT.
