“about 60% of the population were affected, some permanently disabled in their thinking skills. I am only half joking.”
so 30%?
Well, at least enough to make up 47% of the voting public, as my friend(?) Mitt used to say.
How else, other than straight out lying and fabrication of polls, do we account for such sweeping changes in public opinion on controversial topics. If this appearance of social change is mainly due to lying, then both sides of the aisle must find financial benefit from it.
