This "critical mass" thing works in both directions. A distinct minority can maintain control. See minority veto operating in the US Senate, as well as minority of people occupying the press, singing the same tune so as to create the impression their positions are mainstream. See homo marriage in the constitution, discovered by a very small and radical minority which controls the court system.

A minority can maintain control especially when many of those who could do something are compromised by blackmail, secretly in on the take, or spineless chickens***s.
