I went to CPOST. Tracked down what appears to be the article. They require an account be generated to read it. Then they send you a link. That means they are going to be sending me other things as well. I’m not registering with a site just to read one article. I get enough spam now.

OK, I sourced it.

A survey described by University of Chicago political scientist Robert Pape and reported by outlets like Newsmax and Yahoo News indicates that roughly 44% of self-identified Democrats expressed some level of agreement with the idea that the use of force or violence is justified to prevent Donald Trump from achieving certain political goals or to keep him from power.



Survey Context & Findings
    • The Source: The data stems from ongoing research on political violence and public sentiment directed by Robert Pape through the Chicago Project on Security and Threats (CPOST).
    • The Figures: The survey results noted that a notable minority of respondents overall—and approximately 44% of self-identified Democrats in that specific subset—voiced a conditional openness to force or extreme measures regarding opposition to Trump.
    • Broader Trends: Pape and other researchers point out that acceptance or rationalization of political violence has shown concerning shifts across various partisan groups during periods of heightened political polarization, with segments on multiple sides of the ideological spectrum expressing readiness to justify force under specific perceived political threats

Maybe that's why they're out in the streets like rabid humans.
Rabid humans fighting for the invasion of their home country. Never saw anything like this before.

Oh, a study. And who was behind said study? You know studies that ask loaded questions lose all legitimacy, right? It might as well be put together by a grade-schooler. You are dismissed to go waste someone else's time.

Indeed. There have always been a few Socialist/Communist loons around but the DSA?

They are in control of the Democratic Party now.

And yet it was Trump’s MAGA militia that actually enacted large scale political violence when attacking the US Capitol

They expect Trump to break the law to win the midterms. He started ICE with the election in mind. He has them trained to be very brutal to innocent people. He thinks he can order the military to intimidate voters, too. I think the responders think a violent response to save the country is a possibility.

To keep him from overstaying his term, I would agree, to keep him from using the Military to keep himself in power after he is legally out.. I would agree.

The shock value is the defect in the poll, it does not say what political goals we would be willing to use violence to prevent.

Id support using violence for certain things depending on what they were trying to do.

That seems a bit ingenuous on your part. What is the difference between supporting violence by others or committing the violence yourself?

Your standards seem to be rather biased based on your political cult beliefs.

You are supporting the Democrats/Socialist/Communists now.

You call that supporting democracy?

Good grief.

@Earl If Biden had somehow gotten a division of the military to surround the office of the President and not let Trump inside... Would you have supported the use of force to Trump take power?
