Progressive activists in-general are overrepresented online compared to real life. I'd argue they're only about 10% of the American population at most but online they seem several times that size, which often leads to both them and their enemies assuming their ideas are more representative of popular opinion than they really are.

that is 40M people though. these kinds of figures get tricky with such massive numbers bc even 1% of that hypothetical 10% is still 400,000 people. Enough to shut down vital portions of a city or create serious waves through direct action. be grateful that the calls to action from that subset of people begins and ends online. if any “group” of ideologists in America organize for direct action, they will have some success, simply due to sheer numbers and the fundamental fragility of the current system.
