John: Hey, Bush is now at 37% approval. I feel much less like Kevin McCarthy screaming in traffic. But I wonder what his base is --

Tyrone: 27%.

John: ... you said that immmediately, and with some authority.

Tyrone: Obama vs. Alan Keyes. Keyes was from out of state, so you can eliminate any established political base; both candidates were black, so you can factor out racism; and Keyes was plainly, obviously, completely crazy. Batshit crazy. Head-trauma crazy. But 27% of the population of Illinois voted for him. They put party identification, personal prejudice, whatever ahead of rational judgement. Hell, even like 5% of Democrats voted for him. That's crazy behaviour. I think you have to assume a 27% Crazification Factor in any population.

... at least not those of us who believe people, even TheRump-lickers, have a right to free assembly. And those of us who believe that farmers bringing produce to market should not have their livelihoods interfered with. And that numerous other people should not be impeded in the normal flow of their daily events whether they be TRump-lickers or Bernie fans or Hillary supporters or undecideds who might be tipped to the Republican side by such antics.

Remember, rights are formalized so that people we DON'T like are protected and equally we are protected from people who don't like us.
