I often ask people if they believe that all Americans were onboard with the American Revolution, the answer is typically no. Most of the population probably would have been comfortable remaining subordinate to Britain but it was that top 5% that pushed the rest of the nation. Welcome to the USA.
Yeah, at the time it kicked off 1/3 were for Independence, 1/3 were against it and the other 1/3 sat on the sidelines seeing which way the wind would blow.
Ben Franklin's own son, William who was governor or New Jersey at the time stayed loyal to England. Spent most of the war in the 1776 version of Club Fed, low security prison in NY. They didn't speak for years obviously.
Anyway, in statistics, it usually takes on average only 10% of people to be hard core about something for the rest to eventually come around.
If you think about it, in your every day life, if you saw 1 out of 10 blacks B1 as a mug, it would be tough not to come along even if its lip service. In the '60s sisters were tryna hollar at Black Panthers because they were fighting for the cause, the rest of the brothers saw that and one week you see a guy smoking weed, drinking 40s, next week he has a black turtleneck and leather jacket and sunglasses.
Same thing will happen. Not to get biblical but 1 man and 12 disciples changed the whole course of man kind. So did one man in a small, multicultural city in present day Saudi Arabia called Mecca. More recently 3,000 Mormons traveled west and look now? Over 6.5 million in the US. And they got Utah and Nevada on lock and came close to having a President (Romney). In 177 years they are one of the most powerful sub groups in America. Started out seen as crazy AF and now normalized.
It doesn't take much. We don't need leaders. Quick, tell me the Asian leader(s) of America? Quick, tell me the LBGTQ leader(s) of America? You can't because they don't need one because they have a code.
All we need is for as many of us to get on code. That's it.
