There has been a major increase in the number of Americans who agree that “Because things haven gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country” – with a sharper rise among Democrats and Independents than Republicans.
While only 15 percent of Americans agreed political violence may be necessary in 2021, the figure has risen to 23 percent as of 2023.
This sentiment is highest among Republicans, having risen from 28 percent to 33 percent, but the rise has been more significant among Democrats, almost doubling from seven percent to 13 percent. Independents have also seen a sharper rise, from 13 percent to 22 percent.
Similar changes can be observed when examining Americans’ religious and ethnic backgrounds. The feeling that political violence may be necessary is greatest among white evangelicals and mainline Protestants, having risen from 24 and 18 percent to 31 and 25 percent, respectively – but there has been a more pronounced rise among black Protestants, from 12 percent to 24 percent.
Hispanic Catholics are actually slightly more likely to believe political violence is necessary than white Catholics, at 21 percent versus 20 percent (up from 17 and 16 percent in 2021.)
People who describe themselves are religiously unaffiliated or religious but non-Christian have also seen steep rises, from 12 percent to 23 percent and from nine percent to 23 percent.
People in these groups were not broken down by ethnicity or by particular religions such as Islam, however.
Count me in as being one out of the four. These criminals in DC ain’t going down without a fight. They’ve already shown they are willing to steal elections.
How do you save a country filled with those that see no need to be saved?
Only 1 in 4? Someone’s lying.
Secession, or as I call it, cutting the tumors off…
Leave the cancerous parasites to drown in their shit.
NOT GOOD
Who would they fight?
Only Marxist revolutionaries engage in random violence expecting change in governance.
IKR !
The problem - no one agrees what the target of that violence should be, so it will, of course, be random and chaotic.
“Secession, or as I call it, cutting the tumors off…
Leave the cancerous parasites to drown in their shit.”
That’s fine, but that’s not “saving the country”. It’s saving those that wish to be saved. The split won’t be easy.
The American Troubles are well on their way. It will consist of many factions and made strange and fluid alliances.
*many strange and fluid alliances.
That’s 25% - similar to the 30% of Colonists that supported the “original” Revolution.
Its coming...
Well, that is the purpose of the 2nd amendment. In fact, the Declaration says we have an obligation (to descendents) to destroy tyranny.
Target? Ooh. Start local. How about the DB’s who support grooming in schools? Their behavior is an attack upon the roots of humanity. The purpose of life, itself.
could be a pretext to strip gun rights from Americans so they “don’t hurt each other”. of course it helps an overarching Marxist government keep control of the masses. their perfect scenario is only criminals and government have guns. one entity together.
In other words, the Progressive Left is looking to unleash their inner Trotsky on the American Normal Majority.
They started the fire. Now it's our duty to put it out. The tree of liberty is begging for water.
This will be the tipping point for CWII.
Given society's predisposed answer to everything is to kill, this sounds logical. However, hopefully it can be avoided.
