It has been said that as low as 3 to 4 percent of a population needs to be involved in a coup for it to be successful. The alt -right population is more than that percentage now

Yeah, but it has to be a specific 3-4 percent. They have to be in positions of power, in the military, the judiciary, and the executive branches, or they have to take those positions by force.

Y'all Quada tried to take the Capitol, but cried like babies when one terrorist was killed. They won't get nearly that far next time.

It's a junk figure as far as am I'm aware. The whole 3% American revolution really isn't a thing.

10M people. A pittance. A drop in the bucket. Barely anyone at all.

Memaw and Pep Pep will begin the glorious uprising against the cowardly American Imperialist Dogs right after they finish watching their Matlock.
