True. But pick 1000 ‘average Americans and maybe what...4 or 5 would?. Most can’t stand up and vote for what they say they believe in. And that’s on the right. Given a total societal collapse scenario, most would cower or go Vischy as Washington discovered back when the average man was far braver than today.
But those few may be enough as they were back then.
