Thanks “R” your explanation makes perfect sense. Obviously there needs to be a conforming belief system within half of society for such the desired outcome. Not necessarily equal parts to achieve the perfect “purple”.

Call me naive or something and part of me hesitates believing society is so malleable or gullible, although there’s no denying there’s a huge percentage of say 18-30 year olds who are just fine having the government “wipe their butts” instead of themselves!

I grew up in an era where people took care of themselves and still today, there’s an entire generation opposed to government anything. “Stay out of my life and leave me alone” kind of people. Honestly, I believed most people would feel this way as well.

I guess not until people realize and wake up to reality that,

“it’s not what the government is doing for you” rather “what the government is doing to you”, which, by that time will be too late!

Your explanation “R” has simplified and nailed why, for the most part, protesting literally is “one sided”! Even though the smallest percentage has the largest microphone.

Thanks again “R”, I appreciate your response and perspective.
