Most Americans were glad that Donald Trump dodged a bullet at the fateful rally in Pennsylvania.
But not everyone was pleased that 20-year-old assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was such a bad shot.
Until now, many assumed that only a few bad apples wanted the Republican candidate to take a round to the head.
Not so, says alarming new research from a UK-based academic.
Eric Kaufmann says a shocking third of Democratic voters wished Trump had left his July 13 campaign event in a body bag.
Among progressives, the figure is much higher, says the University of Buckingham politics scholar.
A staggering 71 percent of hard-line lefties said they supported the attempt on Trump's life.
Kaufmann said his results could be explained by 'woke moral absolutism.'
'Identity politics has moralized the outlook of the Left, painting conservatives as evil rather than wrong,' he says.
Kaufmann carried out his snap poll of a few hundred people five days after the attack, in which Crooks killed firefighter Corey Comperatore, 50, and injured two others, including Trump.
In the hours that followed, several high-profile liberals voiced support for the assassin, who was shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper.
This comes down to a growing 'partisan asymmetry' in America, he says.
'The Left is more prejudiced against the Right than vice versa,' he adds.
Lefties are more likely to unfriend, refuse to date or otherwise discriminate against conservatives than the other way round, his research shows.
The respondents who backed Trump's assassination bid also had other hard-line feelings against the GOP.

Middle of the road and roasted kinda reminds you of rush’s mushy moderate take
So, most on the right would gladly like to see them receiving one of their biggest demands, an abortion, retroactively.
This is what happens when God is removed from everything!
Romans 1:28-32
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Today, this would not happen.
The democrat party's power is based on hate, class warfare, and racial division. They have no choice but to inflame these three least their party become nothing. This also explains why a leftists will try to kill Donald Trump. In his or her inflamed irrational thought process this is a noble act. In their minds it would be like killing Hitler in 1939 before that leftist ("NAZI stands for Socialist Workers Party") started WWII.
I bet they wouldn’t even be bothered to find out our own FedGov tried to kill him...
Ya kidding, I wouldnt be surprised if at the DNC convention they dont hold a moment of silence for Crooks

They are a death cult. When you support the murder of the innocent in the womb, you open yourself to be given over to every demonic spirit possible.
We definitely need God to take back the airwaves. I pray for His truth to overtake the lies in the media everyday.
guessing an easy 60%
I am.
Surprised it’s not >90%
Of course. Because most Democrats are criminals themselves.
Dems trade in the currency of hate and division, and they are master merchants of it.
How apropo. A guy named Crooks does the dirty work for a bunch of crooks.
It’s sad, but not at all surprising. We already know how hysterical Dems, RINO’s Progressives and ‘Other’ will get whenever the name Donald Trump is spoken out loud.
And to be fully honest, speaking only for myself, I can’t say I have never thought of the reverse situation happening, then me still getting a full night’s sleep later that same day.
No, not proud of it, but that’s how it is.
No way. If there was an active conspiracy (besides the malignant neglect by the Feds), I doubt they would have told idiotic TV anchors beforehand.
I’m actually surprised the numbers aren’t 100% and 100%.
These people have made the entire country a sh*tshow.
Bad apple? Really? Every Democrat vote is a vote to destroy the moral institutions that make the US great and everyone regardless of party affiliation knows it. Democrats have become anti American and anti democracy. They are ALL bad. Every one of them.
