Consider Nassim Taleb's Minority Rule - that a small but intransigent minority can dominate an entire population and have them submit to their preferences.

Nassim cites that 3-4% is enough, so the 6% of the population that is woke is certainly far above this threshold.

"Yes, and..." is a decent persuasion strategy. Rather than trying to get someone to consider or change their base assumptions or to try and disprove some parts of what they believe. Instead you say "yes, I agree with most of what you're saying *AND* what *WE* also need to consider is..."

With Trump his rhetoric is good *AND* we also need to have real policy changes like we see DeSantis doing in FL.
