There is no symmetry. 37% identify as conservatives, 35% as moderates, and 24% as liberals[1]. That leaves 4% for "other". So we're actually talking about 63% of the country being "non-crazy" or "non-propagandized", although I suspect that many self-identified conservatives despise what the Republican Party has become.
