A Disturbing Poll in the Aftermath of the Attempted Assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh Shows How Many Americans Feel About the Killing of Politicians They Disagree With
PJ Media ^ | 06/09/2022 | Matt Margolis

The attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh should have universally shocked Americans. It seems that, out of basic human decency, people should have a real problem with resorting to violence and killing over differences in opinion on public policy, regardless of what side of the aisle they’re on.

Americans come together in the aftermath of tragedies such as mass shootings, natural disasters, and other highly publicized events that leave families shattered. Yet, people apparently have different attitudes about political assassinations.

According to a recently released poll, nearly half of male Democrats under the age of 50 (44 %) say it’s acceptable to assassinate a politician “who is harming the country or our democracy,” the highest percentage of any age/gender/party demographic.

The poll, which was conducted by Tulchin Research for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), also found that nearly a third of younger Democrat women and younger Republican men agreed with the statement, as did 40% of younger Republican women.

Perhaps the most striking aspect of the poll is the generational difference. Older men and women of either party are significantly less likely to approve of the assassination of political opponents than their younger counterparts.

Party identification aside, it is clear that the younger generations are not being taught to respect the lives of others, particularly of their political opponents. This is a perilous path, especially when you consider the way the Democratic Party frequently accuses Republicans of being threats to democracy

They could just classify it as late term abortions and be fine with it.

It’s chilling how loud the voices of the 1930s and 40s are singing right now.

“Assassinate?” Maybe not. But a speedy trial, followed by the Ceaucseu solution, I’m ok with that.

Did the SPLC also categorize the numbers according to race? Just wondering. Everyone in the friggen universe seems to be wanting to know these things.

Seems Republican women have more balls than Republican men.

Due to 50 years of leftist indoctrination in the public schools these people have no understanding of democracy or our republican form of government. If even a large minority of the population approves of tyranny, then there will be tyranny, as we are seeing. We also see that the political party, that calls itself “conservative” is acquiescing and enabling tyranny by not opposing it.

That is quite a fine distinction indeed!

Perhaps you can suggest a word which befits your sensibilities. But then how could you even do that? He said “politicians” instead of whatever term would be acceptable to you, therefore you really have no idea what he means.

Male Democrats under the age of 50? I thought they were ALL Soy-Boys and Cucks. Most likely it’s only the ones playing first person shooters on their gaming device while hiding in their parents basement are the only ones advocating for assassination. The others are just hiding. Pansy Ass Sissies the lot!

The war started years ago - recognition that both sides were fighting began when Trump was elected.

It’s all downhill from here - faster and faster as more shocking things happen after another...until the end of the fight.

Amazing how so many conveniently forget that all roads go two directions. Even a one way road can be traveled against traffic to the peril of everyone else on that road.

What do you do with politicians and others who hate your skin color, hate your holidays, hate your monuments, hate your flag, hate your religion and hate your country?

What ignorant fools comprise this Democrat/Communist demographic. Don't they realize there wouldn't be too many Democrat/Communist politicians who could survive this criteria.
