Shock poll finds two-thirds of Americans expect more political violence in wake of Trump shooting: 1968 again?

So 2024 could be the new 1968, a watershed political year characterized by malefactors attacking iconic political leaders.

That’s the fear of a full 67% of Americans polled in the wake of a sniper attack on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa., Saturday evening.

Two out of every three of the 4,339 Americans YouGov surveyed believe political violence is more likely — suggesting the shots fired at the presumptive GOP presidential nominee in his last campaign stop before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee are a preamble to further violence.

I bet the Chicago convention this year will look like 1968.

I don’t follow RFK Jr.’s campaign, but I expect real or political fireworks from that.

Biden specifically denied him Secret Service protection for truly petty and disgusting democrat political ends. Now after Trump being attacked, how does that make Biden’s decision on RFK Jr. look?

I hope the leftist mayor in Sh*tcargo ends up having to machinegun protesters trying to storm the convention.

Really, I hope the Sh*tocrats have to kill two or three hundred people.

And, BTW, you know it will all be staged to prove they aren’t soft on crime. Yep. Just like Trump set up a fake assassination to boost his numbers

More concerned about Milwaukee. In the case of Chicago, hopefully the leftist nutjobs show up with the Obamas are there.

Yep. When I heard they were doing it in Chicago again, and considering the civil war within the party, I figured, yeah, 1968 again.

Only it could be a lot worse. There wasn’t the insanity of a completely and utterly incompetent candidate winning.

“There are many differences between the 1968 and 2024 conventions. One of the biggest is that now, the whole world is filming. The problem today is not how much we can see but how much we can believe.”

article conclusion. an interesting analysis.

We just saw the first heavily filmed presidential assassination attempt instantly.

I doubt Milwaukee could handle it. They are on the down slope of becoming a basket case.

They aren't just inciting violence, they are creating it, and lying about it. Remember the Kennedy assassinations? How about the Obama birth certificate? If ANYONE believes anything this government or their lying lapdog media has to say, they are lost forever.

“I figured, yeah, 1968 again.”

Some major differences this time. Those on the inside are as crazy as those on the outside. The mayor is as crazy as the protesters and is on the same side. The rioters might get in this time.

I wouldn’t say 1968, I’d say what nearly happened was more like 1914.

Yep. I believe it really could be worse than 1968. Thing is, the climate is even less civil than it was then.

Kennedy, Jill Stein, and Cornel West will all siphon votes away from Biden.

Be good for Biden if they started dropping out of the race, for one reason or another...

Thanks, fully agree.

BTW, usually not a fan of Bill O’Reilly but Bill went after the lefty leftist for creating hatred & nurturing it!. Here’s the YouTube link, he was respectful.
