A term used within British political circles, Twenty Percenters is applied to the portion of the population that will accept any lie you decide to tell them, which is roughly around 20%. Twenty Percenters believe in things like global warming and the urgent need to restrict freedom of speech. Twenty Percenters are characterised by lack of imagination and display frequent cognitive dissonance. They also lack any ability to confront authority in a material sense but may compensate for their lack of volition through symbolic action such as: affiliating themselves with an impotent political group, subscribing to eclectic political journals, writing protest poetry/songs, macramé and pressing wild flowers.
We've got the Twenty Percenters on board but what can we do convince the rest of electorate that raising duty on fuel will save the planet?

Philip said that the store was giving away $10,000 dollars at the end of the night, but I called and they said they were only giving $1000. I guess thats another one of those Philip "10 percent rule" exclamations.

Obama vs. Alan Keyes is proof. 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 the twenty-seven percenters in 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.
