30 MILLION Americans say violence is justified to keep Trump from power: UChicago study
The Postmillennial ^ | August 14th, 2023 | unattributed

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.”

“The public is more radicalized than it was in April and it’s really quite significant,” said Pape. “We’ve been tracking this quite a while, and this is a really big bump.”

Trump didn’t radicalize anyone. Insane media overreaction about a Republican having the gall to beat Clinton radicalized a lot of people.

I wouldn’t give that number any credence. The professor is probably right about it being significant though.

People are fooling themselves if they think any lines could be drawn in such a situation. It would turn into a Rwanda s&*#-show in little time... except instead of clubs people would be using guns.

“use of force” is permissible to “Prevent Donald Trump from becoming president.” “

Just how many of the brave and heroic progs are going to trot their fat azzes out into the street and back that up?

It might climb as high as 0%.

Yeah, they are sooo scary, I must vote for whomever they say is the correct choice.

Or NOT.

A lot of youth are radicalized though. The universities are indoctrination centers. If Obama asserted himself and came out from behind the curtain, they’d be a street army for him.

I’ll bet three fourths of that number are non-taxpaying illegal aliens.

Haters, just itching to join 0Ъa⋔a's civilian army:

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Maybe Trump can promise and deliver on a Bennie that will work for them.
