Nah. Recall that in the latter half of the 1770s, only about 15% of the American population seriously supported the American colonies secession from Great Britain if it meant a war with what was then the world's preeminent military power. Nearly that many remained lowal to the crown, to the extent of actively taking military action against the secessionists, and nearly three-quarters were either too preoccupied with their daily subsistance or flat didn't give a fig for such matters.
Similarly, you can reasonably expect somewhere around 75% of todays citizens to reflect similar sentiments, and even among a relative hotbed of political interest such as FReeRep, you'll find a similarly large number of bleaters at the feed trough. And of course, our own Tories and Quislings, as well.
