15. and many are not followers. but when instructed they are a made-to-order constituency for
whatever they are needed to do - to intimidate or enable media or politicians, to scream in town halls. you don't need a majority if you have a lot of money and just need to make a show. how many times have you heard politicians and talking heads say the people want this or that? my constituents say this or that. our readers say this or that. you can ignore the majority until it comes time to vote, and then you suppress it and steal it. in the meantime you obstruct and move media and politicians and the political 'center' around as you want and claim whatever you want as long as 1000 radio stations have your back and set the tone for you. it beats real democracy.
