Tensions are high among American voters ahead of presidential contests next year, according to a new national survey released Wednesday by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) in partnership with the Brookings Institution. --- I use Google... A lot.... >______> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Jones told NPR the most disturbing finding, however, is that more Americans support political violence. Nearly a quarter of Americans (23%) agree that "because things have gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country," according to the survey. This is up from 15% in 2021. --- I use Google... A lot.... >______> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Compared to past surveys, researchers also found an uptick in support for conspiracy theories among Americans specifically QAnon. According to PRRI, there has been a significant increase in "QAnon believers (from 14% to 23%)," as well as a "a decrease in QAnon rejecters," since 2021. However, Republicans are still twice as likely as Democrats to agree with the core beliefs of the QAnon conspiracy theory. --- I use Google... A lot.... >______> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Currently one-third of Republicans support violence as a means to save the country, compared with 22% of independents and 13% of Democrats, the survey found. More specifically, Republicans who have favorable views of Donald Trump were found to be "nearly three times as likely as Republicans who have unfavorable views of Trump" to support political violence. I am full of surprise and shock. --- Only two things can end a Republican's career - a dead girl or a live boy. ... Copied to Clipboard!

political violence is terrorism and its not surprising that the party that tried a coup is significantly more likely to believe it is acceptable

They have an odd idea of what democracy is Republicans are sad, lonely people who would desperately like to believe that their insane, fringe beliefs represent a "silent majority" and think that any real democracy would reflect that. They desperately want their nonsense to represent reality, but instead of re-evaluating their beliefs when it turns out to not be the case, they instead craft all sorts of conspiracy theories for why they keep losing. --- I have nothing else to say ...

It's funny how Republicans think they are saving Democracy, while actively killing it. They don't care (or in some cases even comprehend) that their platform is doomed to collapse from within. Fascism requires an "out group" to scapegoat and rally against. Once they've purged their perceived enemies, they can only resort to inventing increasingly labyrinthine justifications to turn against each other. --- Swimming over the barrier to protect my egg. ...

I recently learned that in the city of Wilmington, North Carolina a group of militant white supremacist managed to overthrow the democratically elected government of the city due to it having black people in it during 1898. It's a pretty tragic tale. (Warning use of language and violence ahead):

The familiarly of most of that is disturbing.Yeah, it's insane how seeped white supremacy is imbedded in American culture and history. There's also the destruction of the black wall street by angry white supremacists. The only municipal coup in American history occurred because white people didn't want to share political power with black people. --- Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.
