The YouGov survey for George Washington University was conducted in June
It asked those polled to respond to the statement that there will be a time coming when 'patriotic Americans have to take the law into their own hands'
The poll found that 47% of Republicans surveyed agreed with the statement
Just 9% of Democrats agreed with that same conclusion, in a shocking difference of opinion on partisan political influence on laws in the United States
More than half of Republicans - 55% - also supported the use of force to 'preserve the traditional American way of life
Just 15% of Democrats supported the use of force to preserve the nation's values
Those survey questions were part of a larger survey about American attitudes and confidence toward elections in the wake of the results 2020 election
The poll found that 75% of Democratic voters were confident in regard to the integrity of the upcoming 2022 midterm elections
That number is down a single percentage point from the 2020 election, in which 76% of Democratic voters expressed confidence in the integrity of the election
Just 28% of Republicans are confident in the integrity of the 2022 election, down 18 percentage points from the number of GOP voters, 46%, before the 2020 vote

My biggest fear is that not enough patriotic Americans will have the courage to take the law into their own hands.
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” - Thomas Jefferson
start with filing our grievances we will find out if they will change or not. -when in the course of human events..sample below:.
....The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor....
“Stealing national elections in broad daylight has consequences.”
I’m hoping fair elections will be our “revolution”.
That won't do zip. These tyrants don't give 2 s**ts about protests, slogans or signs.
I suggest you read Unintended Consequences by John Ross
“harvest-when-least-expected” means something ...
This is the USA. The law has ALWAYS been in our hands.
We have hired professionals to administer the law, so we can do other things.
We can fire them for unsatisfactory performance, and do it ourselves. We don’t want to, but sometimes we must do things we don’t want to do.
we still have our guns. They didn’t
What do you call letting in 2 million illegals, locking demonstrators in solitary with no bail, not prosecuting BLM and Antifa, forced vaccinations, tdmoving police so drug gangs run wild?
Sounds like taking the law into their own hands
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
See my tagline.
What we need are mass demonstrations, “Say no to Marxism”. The DemoMarxist domestic enemies constantly create slogans and protests and this intimidates people and corporations which is why this “woke” BS is all over the place today. I went to get a pizza yesterday and the guy had “We are LBGT friendly” on the window of his pizza store. I asked him why he had that, that nobody gives a damn about other people sexuality and he said “protection”. People are intimidated by these bastards. Well we can do the same! Why aren’t we doing this? We could plan it right here on Freep.
Remember the The Tea Party movement in 2009??? It is time again!!!
Every thing that won’t go on forever, doesn’t.

Except few things go on forever we just don’t know when the change will come until after it happens.
The French Revolution is a good example how the ruling elite got so out of touch with the people that eventually the common man had enough and revolted against them.
The ruling elite had the wealth, the power, the state and controlled most institutions using the law to shut down dissent as well as outlawing free assembly, free speech and a free press while also controlling the elections by deciding just who got to vote (rich land owners).
The elite thought they had nothing to fear from the pheasants, until they did by which time it was too late.
“ Just 9% of Democrats agreed with that same conclusion, in a shocking difference of opinion”
I see. This must be why the Democrats rose up in anger and opposed the BLM race riots and Antifa last year. Because they oppose political violence.

Yes it does.
COVID was a black swan event. A once in a century black swan event.
That time is long past due...
