A friend who studied political science an conflict made this observation about American politics: 30% of the voting population is insane. They will believe the most mind-bendingly illogical things, and then vote for them, so the best you can ever expect from the general population is 70% agreement on reality.

In that light, we're doing really well with only 1/8 believing such a thing.

Maybe neither should. The problem is the power existing in the first place, waiting around for someone like Trump.
