About 5% of Americans are fascists or Marxists. About 15% of Americans are "Marxist Lite" or "Fascist Lite". Another 15% on either side are best described as "fellow travelers". About 20% of all Americans are hyper-partisan Republicans and another 20% are hyper-partisan Democrats. On each side about 5% are decided leaners R or D. That leaves 10% in the middle. They decide most elections.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
