30 MILLION Americans say violence is justified to keep Trump from power: UChicago study

A UChicago professor said "the public is more radicalized," and that "it’s really quite significant."

A new survey commissioned by the University of Chicago found that a stunning 30 million American adults say they believe the use of violence is okay if that is what it takes to stop former President Trump from assuming the White House once again.

The study found that 11.6 percent of US adults agree that a “use of force” is permissible to “Prevent Donald Trump from becoming president.” This amounts to around 30 million people. A total of 3,543 US adults were polled for the survey in June 2023, with a reported margin of error of two to three percentage points.

University of Chicago professor Robert Pape, who led the research, said that while he believes recent indictments against former President Trump have created “radicalization,” there is also “growing anger and radicalization on the left as well.”
