My only surprise is that this is surprising in any way. I’d put the numbers at:
20-30 percent will actively support most things the current leadership does
30-40 percent will go along with it, even if they don’t particularly like it
10-20 percent will complain about the worst disagreements, but not take significant action that puts their lifestyle at risk.
2-10 percent will do anything beyond attending a protest (like moving their person or assets to a different jurisdiction, or changing jobs or running for opposing office)
5-20 percent lizardman
Fortunately, most democratic systems have time-based checkpoints where the threshold for change is a lot lower (people in the 2nd and 3rd groups can make change more easily during elections), and the activist numbers tend to be MUCH higher for policies that hugely impact that cadence.
