30% of republicans think “violence may be needed”

[bodecea]

Well it’s true, violence may be needed someday. That’s just how batshit crazy the lunatic left has gotten.

Yes...we know, we know....the Left will MAKE YOU be violent.

 

[Indeependent]

And yet this assertion has no basis in reality.

I apologize, it's really about 35%.

'Alarming finding': 30 percent of Republicans say violence may be needed to save U.S., poll shows

Almost one-third of Republicans say they think violence may be necessary to solve the problems facing the United States, according to a new national survey by the non-profit Public Religion Research Institute.

I suppose I am on the fence about this. I think republicans are all talk. All bark, no bite. However, there is probably enough of them that mean business. Perhaps 10% of that 30% actually mean what they say.

Either way it’s pretty pathetic this is because they believe the election was stolen from Trump. It can’t even be over something based in reality.

After the BLM riots, y'all need to stop crying about a potential for violence by the Right.

How is this proof of 90% of liberals being violent?

 

[Shawnee_b]

woooooo hoooo another poll! Public religion research institute no less. A whopping 2508 person survey. I'm impressed.

I see persons immediatelly think CIVIL WAR. Violence doesn't not 100% equate to a civil war.

 

[dudmuck]

These democrat apologists need to stop pretending that BLM and any democrat sponsored "protest" hasn't had any violence. Let's roll the tapes then.

Most of the violence was outside opportunists, and most arrested werent left radicals. BLM protest violence was overblown anyways, since they were mostly peaceful, and the exceptions were the aforementioned sources.

 

[Batcat]

OSo who are they going to target?

Do they have a pre-determined "Hit List"

RWI's have the misconception (look it up tards) that they own all the guns and bullets.
RWI's think they will destroy others in a 'gun fight'

They will end up shooting each other, with a little collateral damage along the way.

JUST STOP. Civil War is NOT what you want.

Chances are a couple of states will leave the Union followed by perhaps a dozen others. I don’t see tanks rolling and jet planes bombing nor do I see street by street fighting in the big urban areas.

In my opinion the breakup of the United States will be similar to the breakup of the old USSR.

Dissolution of the Soviet Union - Wikipedia

The Quiet Collapse of the Soviet Union

Certain factors accelerated the fall of the Soviet Union and caused it to rot from the inside, even though the Soviet leaders’ biggest fear was from the outside.

Hopefully this nation will not break apart but the divisions in our nation are growing and it seems the art of compromise is extinct. Rather than trying to unite people many of the people we elect seem determined to divide them and drive them further and further apart by race and wealth.

Plus some lucky people appear to be totally above the rule of law causing corruption in our nations Capitol to sprout like dandelions and sand spurs in a poorly maintained yard. In a well functioning representative democracy there is only one rule of law and it applies equally to all.

70% of Democrats are already violent.

Such far right wing projection.....

You mean when the Proud Boys sprayed themselves Black and committed murder and vandalism?

Yawn. Do you really think you stumbled onto something that would galvanize your idiotic belief that you're the"poor victim", and those mean old right-wingers are out to get you?

While at the same time ignoring your own side's penchant for violence?

Gimme a fuckin' break. From 2020:

"In September, 44 percent of Republicans and 41 percent of Democrats said there would be at least “a little” justification for violence if the other party’s nominee wins the election. Those figures are both up from June, when 35 percent of Republicans and 37 percent of Democrats expressed the same sentiment.

• Similarly, 36 percent of Republicans and 33 percent of Democrats said it is at least “a little” justified for their side “to use violence in advancing political goals”—up from 30 percent of both Republicans and Democrats in June.

• There has been an even larger increase in the share of both Democrats and Republicans who believe there would be either “a lot” or “a great deal” of justification for violence if their party were to lose in November. The share of Republicans seeing substantial justification for violence if their side loses jumped from 15 percent in June to 20 percent in September, while the share of Democrats jumped from 16 percent to 19 percent."

Correction, It is not what YOU want. I have no problem either way.

So you're saying Ferguson and Minneapolis was never burned down?

 

[Concerned American]

So you're saying Ferguson and Minneapolis was never burned down?

And violence was not in evidence for over 100 straight days of rioting in Portland. There was no police precinct closed and six blocks of downtown taken over for six weeks in Seattle. Those things never happened. BLM/Antifa participants have not been arrested for murder---or killed in shoot outs because they were "peaceful." dudmuck is a moron.

Oh look, it's the BLM supporter to your left who shot and killed an officer on your right.

Let's say it another way:

Fully 7% of the BLM protests turned violent. The report cited does not give a clear definition of "riot" or "damage". As a matter of fact, they list a 3 month long protest that occurred in Vermont's largest city as "peaceful", however that protest caused over $20,000 in property damages, multiple emergency response calls for injuries, and shut down the normal flow of traffic in the downtown on several days (the economic impact is unknown).

Nationwide, as a whole, those "peaceful" protests caused the largest amount of damage in US History, estimated at between 1 and 2 Billion Dollars:

Exclusive: $1 billion-plus riot damage is most expensive in insurance history

The violence after George Floyd's death is the costliest since the 1992 L.A. riots.

Also, thousands of police officers were injured during those "peaceful" protests, and more than 19 people were killed outright:
