SURVEY:​

55% Of Self-Identified Leftists Say Killing Trump Is Justifiable​

The more troubling trend is the rising violent rhetoric isn’t just coming from the ‘fringe’ left, it’s being ‘normalized’ by the left.
7 Apr 2025 ~~ By M.D. Kittle

The unhinged left, fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred for Elon Musk, is trending more violent, according to a new study that finds political violence targeting President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser is “becoming increasingly normalized.”
The report, produced by the Network of Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in partnership with Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab, finds a broader “assassination culture” appears to be “emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left, with expanding targets now including figures such as Donald Trump.”
Less than a year after assassination attempts on then-presidential candidate Trump and the literally explosive violence against Musk’s Tesla electric vehicles, it’s no secret that leftists are ratcheting up violent rhetoric and actions. The more troubling trend is that an “assassination culture” isn’t just coming from the “fringe” left.
“These attitudes are not fringe — they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse,” states the report, titled, “Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence.”
‘Widespread Justification for Lethal Violence’
NCRI, an independent institution working to “identify and forecast emerging threats in the era of information disorder,” finds the pattern is building on a broader trend discussed in two reports in December that analyzed “how viral social media narratives were legitimizing political violence, particularly in the aftermath of the United Healthcare CEO’s assassination.”

“The findings signal a threat to political stability and public safety,” the reports warns.
Here are some of the troubling numbers, according to the report:
  • Murder Justification: 31% and 38% of respondents stated it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively. (These effects were largely driven by respondents that self-identified as left of center, with 48% and 55% at least somewhat justifying murder for Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively, indicating significantly higher justification for violence against these figures.)
  • Property Destruction: Nearly 40% of respondents (39.8%) stated it is at least somewhat acceptable (or more) to destroy a Tesla dealership in protest.
  • Psychological/Ideological Correlations with Assassination Culture: These beliefs are highly correlated with one another, as well as with the justification of the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO and hyper-partisan left-wing ideology. (This suggests that support for violence is part of a broader assassination culture, underpinned by psychological and ideological factors.)

‘Real-World Escalation’
The NCRI report on the growing assassination culture notes support for such political violence on the right, but the prevalence is not nearly as large.
While threats and acts of violence rise on the left, the silence from Democrats in power is deafening. But we’ve seen this movie before. Spoiler Alert: It doesn’t end well for a lot of innocent people. Attorney General Pam Bondi has rightly called the spate of attacks against Tesla “nothing short of domestic terrorism,” because that’s what it is. Just like the myriad acts of domestic terrorism by the left during the Black Lives Matter riots at the end of Trump’s first term.
“For the last five years, the violent left has run rampant with few consequences for the chaos it has sown,” Karol Markowicz recently wrote in the New York Post.
The NCRI report includes a stark warning.
“Unless political and cultural leadership explicitly confronts and condemns this trend, NCRI assesses a growing probability of real-world escalation,” the report concludes. “Given the current economic volatility and institutional distrust, the online normalization of political violence may increasingly translate into offline action.”


Commentary:
If Neo-Marxist Democrats claim the believe in Democracy, why are they so violent and have the need to be anti-religious, persecute and kill their opposition?
Justice against the Left would be justifiable, long overdue and a way to save the children and grandchildren of good people today from living in a People’s Democracy as in China.
Mob rule followed by an elite group of Neo-Marxist Commies choosing to eliminate their opponents and dissidents.
If this was a survey of conservatives saying it was okay to kill Obama or Biden, the Quisling MSM would spend the next month demanding that Republican officeholders disavow their supporters, while a Democrat majority Congress would have formed Committees investigating Conservatives.
This attitude isn’t coming from “fringe. groups.
This is your average liberal that has become so radicalized that anyone even slightly leaning toward the center is now considered “right wing” today.

But I know I’m preaching to the choir.

Considering that recent polling showed that 50% of blacks couldn’t say that it’s OK to be white (no other criteria like KKK or neo-nazi — just white) I’m not surprised by these findings.
When whites say it's OK to be white, they generally mean it's OK to be racist. The non racist whites don't have to say it's OK to be white.
 
The Democrats are Maoists now.
No, that's what trump is doing.

You assholes staged an insurrection because of a ie. So STFU. Elon Musk fired people for no reason and ruined lives. He bought the outrage on himself, and everybody doing it is not a liberal.
 
Below is Che's best picture.

Most people don't know because the DISGUSTING FILTH is the DISGUSTING FILTH but Che was a Psychopathic Murderer. He was so bad that Castro sent him away. He would often murder people, sometimes by the dozen. simply for his own entertainment.

It is no wonder dimocrap scum worship him --

It was 8th Special Forces Group that ran him down. CIA, my ass. Those clowns couildn't find their ass with both hands. If they want it done, they job it out to SF. Delta, now days

Typical Commie Marxist. many claim that Josef Stalin and Mao were also Psychopathic.
 
If you think this is going to get better, you got another think coming.

Shocking Study: Left Embracing ‘Assassination Culture,’ Some See Trump’s Death As ‘Somewhat Justified’

A disheartening number of people in general, but notably more on the left side of the political spectrum, are embracing an "assassination culture" that suggests there is justification for violence against political opponents, a new study finds.

Not that a study was necessary based on the number of Tesla dealership firebombings and as actual attempts on President Trump's life have borne out.

That said, Rutgers University’s Network Contagion Research Institute, or NCRI, has just released a report indicating that "violence targeting Donald Trump and Elon Musk is becoming increasingly normalized."

NCRI founder Joel Finkelstein, who is a psychologist and neuroscientist, authored the study.

"What was formerly taboo culturally has become acceptable," Finkelstein told Fox News Digital. "We are seeing a clear shift – glorification, increased attempts, and changing norms – all converging into what we define as ‘assassination culture.’


mentally ill? possessed? it didn't take them long to get to this point. I suspect they were there but it was all under wraps....now they're emboldened enough to be open about it. They don't care that you see it. And don't be distracted...this is fueled by Dem politicians and the Gutter Media...they KNOW what they're doing.
They are just impatient. Trump will have his time.
 
Right on cue --

When are you going to believe me..... dimocraps arre the scum of the Earth. It's not playground shit-talk, I'm not doing 'The Dozens' or trying to start an argument....... dimocraps are the scum of the fucking Earth

...

"The reports found widespread justification for lethal violence -- including assassination -- among younger, highly online, and ideologically left-aligned users," the authors of the latest study write.

They note the spillover effect beyond the online world, illustrated by a proposed California ballot measure macabrely named "the Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act," celebrating the alleged leftist terrorist and murderer of United Healthcare head Brian Thompson. The ballot measure targets health insurance denials, one of Mangione's reported flashpoints.


On Friday, a California man reportedly "angry with pharmacies" was arrested on charges of murdering a Walgreens employee just days after the Luigi Mangione Act was filed with the state. ABC 30 reported that Erick Velazquez, the victim, was not a pharmacist, and was a respected husband and father of two.
Oh, you meant to say that a percentage of those thousand respondents makes you think this is a nationwide trend of all leftist. You couldn't be more wrong.
