A majority of self-identified leftists say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder President Donald Trump, according to a new survey.
The Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University's Social Perception Lab on Monday released results of a survey to assess support for political violence in the U.S.
The results found that political violence targeting Trump and Elon Musk "is becoming increasingly normalized."
In fact, 55% of those self-identified as left of center said murdering Trump would be at least somewhere justified. A share of 48% leftists said the same about murdering Musk, head of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.
Overall, 38% said it was at least somewhat justified to murder Trump and 31% said the same about Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.
NCRI/Rutgers found that "a broader 'assassination culture' appears to be emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left."
"The findings signal a threat to political stability and public safety," NCRI/Rutgers found.

They miss the wonderful economy of Biden.
That makes 55% of them seditionists and traitors. Action against them is now justified!
Same creeps who think murdering businessmen is okay, no doubt.
Same creeps who think murdering businessmen is okay, no doubt.
Anyone who still supports the Democrats has an evil and criminal heart, mind and soul.
This is why they want us to get rid of our guns.
Just a matter of time before they think that about all of us who support him.
Yey already do!
These are the very same grotesque people who continually tell themselves and each other how kind and compassionate they are. This is their self delusion, they have convinced themselves how truly righteous they are. They give themselves awards proclaiming their saintly virtue all while they fire bombing, hoping for assassination, destroying cars and property and egging on others to commit heinous acts.
These people are sick. Morally, spiritually, and mentally.
I thought leftists were afraid of a brain drain.
When do we RICO the Democrat party and rid ourselves of these anti American Quislings?
They are human excrement which must be flushed!
And they’re mentally challenged.
Time to go full Pinochet.
They are Seditious in this way “
“Seditious” in the context of the Constitution generally refers to behavior or speech that incites rebellion or unrest against the government, or that promotes violence or the overthrow of the established order, though it’s important to note that the term’s legal meaning and application can vary.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
General Definition:
“Seditious” typically describes actions or words that are intended to encourage or promote rebellion, disorder, or the overthrow of a government.
Examples:
This can include inciting violence, advocating for the overthrow of the government, or spreading propaganda that undermines public trust in the government or its institutions.
Legal Context:
While the term “seditious” is often used in a general sense, it also has a specific legal meaning, particularly in relation to laws against sedition or seditious conspiracy.
Seditious Conspiracy:
In the United States, seditious conspiracy is a federal crime defined as an agreement by two or more people to overthrow, put down, or destroy by force the government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof.
First Amendment:
It’s important to note that while seditious speech is not protected under the First Amendment, the government must still prove that the speech is intended to incite imminent lawless action and is likely to do so.
Historical Context:
The concept of sedition and seditious libel has a long history, with laws against such activities being used to suppress dissent and maintain political power.
Examples of Historical Sedition Laws:
The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, for example, were enacted to suppress criticism of the Federalist government, and the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 were used to suppress dissent during World War I.
Modern Relevance:
While the term “sedition” is often associated with historical events, it remains relevant in contemporary discussions about political unrest, extremism, and the potential for violence.
They’re truly insane.
Murder is murder. Dead is dead. Being “Somewhat” justified is not a concept in this equation.
Good assessment.
I think there should be a hunting season for liberal Pizza tablecloth hat “protesters”. Twenty five bucks per set of ears.
