My gut tells me that it is much more than that.

It’s a stupid question because it is open-ended. I mean, is it possible that sometime within the next 1,000 years the American people might rise up against the government? Yes, it’s possible. However, if the question limited that time period to, say, the next ten years, the answer would in all likelihood be No. Ditto for twenty years. And thirty years.

Holy crappin’ crap!

I wonder how many shooters there are.

It only took 3% last time!

I’ll bet it’s lots higher than that.

People just don’t want visits from the FIB or to be red flagged by admitting the truth.

The bottom line is, it’s worse out there than we thought.

That’s because democrats are totally clueless about where middle America is coming from.

They genuinely think their views are mainstream and those who disagree are fringe.

Guess again, guys.

50% or more are just waiting for the low flying lead.

Our forefathers would have been shooting by now.

“Poll: Quarter of Americans open to armed rebellion against government”

I am surprised anyone still feels that way after the Declaration of Independence was repealed.

Weird. I kinda remember five months of mass rioting and all that goes with it. The part about guns might have something to do with results, but the vast majority of democrats i listen too have zero respect for this country’s traditions, let alone give a damn about it….

Newhouse said in an interview. “The bottom line is, it’s worse out there than we thought.”

Oh yes it is! They keep going after our President Trump for made-up charges; all the while the Clintons and Biden's are not jailed. You betcha we're pissed. I don't think other countries are going to supply us with missiles and aid, it's all on us once the shooting starts.

I think the number is low. Most reliable folks I know would never say yes, they are ready to go kinetic to a survey given by a stranger. But, everyone tuned in does seem pretty wound up. It might depend on who the Big Voices are and what the circumstances were. You threaten family in general and I would not want to be in the way.

Sh#t study. Both sides of the issues had similar notions. They didn’t ask which government. The current one, or a possible future one. So theoretically almost everyone would believe in taking up arms assuming a future military dictatorship.

Other than that it is probably a scare tactic poll meant to get Biden cultists afraid of what the future portends if the voters get rid of the biden administration.

All in preparation to grab our guns. Then it’s over.

Not me.

I am a happy little serf.

Just growing my food, paying my taxes and tugging my forelock to my betters.

Sheesh.

Saying anything else to a polling company is like bugging your own house.

Hmmm...
Hard to believe that anybody could be dissatisfied with our benevolent communist masters and the way they run the government...

Just the other day we were assured again that things have never been better...

I’d just prefer that states like Florida secede.

I’m sure the Dumb-O-Crats are shocked that so many Americans feel that way. After all, they’re only about to foster gasoline and diesel shortages by shutting down the Permian basin oil patch, supposedly over ozone pollution.

Don’t buy into this crap.

This will be mainlined to the Leftist media and the
Democrats on Capital Hill. That’s its only purpose.

This is striving to drive the January 6th, meme home!

It was only a survey. There are many Walter Mitty types fantasizing out there, and others in social media who like to churn up some hysterics.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The feeling is mutual, it worse in there than we thought, too.
