I think she meant 1/5 armed to the teeth, and ready to defend our country and great GEOTUS, not total supporters.

20%? Damn, we have almost 7 times the proportion of Americans that rose up and won the Revolution. I like those odds.

That's right, only 1/3 of Americans support anybody. The rest are children or don't care.

yup, most are apathetic.

interestingly, in Australia, it's mandatory to vote, not sure that helps the process though.

If you have 1/5 of a country marching in the same direction and prepared to use force that's an incredible amount of political power - the rest of the country (and we've seen this time and time again in numerous countries) will just fall into line.

The last thing the commies want is to awake that "1/5th", because if they mobilise, they'll push the commies into the sea and who knows what'll happen from there. They'd rather just have Americans sleepwalk into socialism.

yes, but that's not really the argument.

if you believe the polls, over 50% support Trump.
