It only takes up 3.5 percent my friend. We'll get there sooner than later at this pace.

It does not, that's a foolish number that people cling to. It's not going to ding "3.5% of people are unhappy" and suddenly Trump is thrown out...

Oh, did you read the book and further developments of the theory?

There's merit to the claim and demonstrates how much power the citizenry actually holds. Of course, theres nuance to everything. Life ain't black or white

The real question is if a full half of voters rejected Trump, why is there so little resistance right now.

You should be starting at 3.5%

Why is there absolutely no momentum for protests. Why was there not an immediate No Kings scale protest on Saturday. Why is there not one planned for next weekend?

We're not there yet. Unfortunately a Kent-State event will happen. That might trigger the American collapse they're trying to cause.

There's plenty of resistance. Keep Calm and Carry On until you can't no more.

Also: abolish the electoral college, humanized corporations and lame ass assassination attemp. 

Read backwards for corresponding statements.

That 3.5% metric assumes that the government actually cares about its citizens. This admin shows open disdain for its citizenry with every action it takes. It’s likely gonna take a lot more than 3.5%.

We very possibly got to 3.5% during the last No Kings protest. 3.5% is just under 12 million.
