  It doesn't even have to be the majority to be a mainstream point of view. I wonder, at what point does someone become a "bad person"? When they agree with the 50%? 30%? 10%? 5%? --- I have haters. Yay!

Obviously, a 100% majority won't judge themselves as bad people for taking a position. History is a different judge. It is also bad to demonize a minority point of view, no matter how small the minority. We should respect people who take a "bad" position. > It's irrelevant how many people agree with it. 100% can agree with something that is still oppressive. With a rational discourse, we become more intelligent and can progress further as a civilization. By shaming & other negative actions toward the "bad" people, we become oppressive.
