Just Over Half of Young Self-Identified Liberals Think Political Violence is Unacceptable

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Most Americans say it's unacceptable to be happy about public figures' deaths, but younger and more liberal Americans are more likely to call it acceptable. Contrast that with 85% of young conservatives saying it's unacceptable. This isn't surprising to me seeing the number of Gen Z aged leftists celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk on social media, but it's a serious problem that needs to be addressed. How has this group in particular become so desensitized to the idea that it's okay to murder people with differing viewpoints?

What Americans really think about political violence

Most Americans say political violence is never justified, but younger and more liberal Americans are more likely to say it can be.

Only 54% of younger liberals say political violence is never justified, whereas 75% of young conservatives agree with that statement.

Did they ask those 85% about Trump's pardoning of 1/6 insurrectionists? Lots of political violence in mass scale on that day. The right wing seems very much able to excuse political violence when it suits their needs; just like the yahoo's on the left.

I got to question a poll such as this. I bet nobody on either side condones violence.

I bet the guy who killed Charlie Kirk most likely will say he dont condone violence.

Also, I just noticed the nuance of the poll, were those 85% happy when Blob Jr. tweeted a picture of a hammer with reference to Pelosi's husband being attacked with one?

I bet 100% of those 85% were gleeful; as were nearly 100% of conservatives on this board.

Actions speak louder than words.

And so far, it's obvious that the political right is far more violent than the political left.

The fake insurrection, a million people and how many dead? Zero! How many dead at a Who concert, 11 people dead.

Seems about as peaceful as a million people can be

So, graphic proof that the violence problem in this country, rioting, looting, murdering, burning, protesting, etc., is really mostly a function of leftwing ideology.

And that--- for whatever reason--- that more civil, well-behaved, peaceful behavior necessary to a healthy society correlates well with people practicing morality and virtue, and conservative values.

So they say when the cameras are on, anyway.

140 cops were injured.

You seem to be forgetting that.

And you seem happy to accept cops getting injured, right?

Wrong again, Nazi.

Jan 6 proved how violent you Nazis are.

The assassination and attempted assassination attempts in MN prove how violent you Nazis are.

It is sad that the Capitol Police suffered injuries because Nancy Pelosi handled the security politically which was incompetent.

Generations gone sour. "Silly" thing is the newer the generation the more likely to say they're LGBTQRSTUV, 23-28% generation Z being the latest.

Personally, I think kids are so screwed up today by lib-speak, they don't know what they like, and often suggest they're gay because they prefer what sounds cool than what comes natural for them. A dollar says 23-28% gen Z are in therapy too.

Pretty close, check this out: Estimates vary by study, but generally, about 1 in 5 Gen Z adults (20%) are currently in therapy, while a larger proportion, around 50% to 53%, have sought professional mental health services at some point.

If you can't get laid, just say your gay and use it as an excuse.

How about people stop making these assertions without any evidence? Because the right has committed the most political violence.
