Okay this is great but to be clear: 3.5% of the population engaged consistently and effectively have never failed to create change. Even if next time thrice this number turns out (which would be a little under 4.5% of Americans) that alone wouldn't cause change unless they engage in effective resistance (for example a protest with no end date). These numbers do, however, mean the resistance can move to the next step of real, sustained action.
Let's shoot for 3.5% and then see what else to shoot for next.
