A large study confirms one in five Americans believes violence motivated by political reasons is—at least sometimes—justified. Nearly half expect a civil war, and many say they would trade democracy for a strong leader, a preprint posted today on medRxiv found.
“This is not a study that’s meant to shock,” says Rachel Kleinfeld, a political violence expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace who was not involved in the research. “But it should be shocking.”

He and his colleagues surveyed more than 8600 adults in English and Spanish about their views on democracy in the United States, racial attitudes in U.S. society, and their own attitudes toward political violence. The respondents were part of the Ipsos KnowledgePanel—an online research panel that has been used widely, including by Wintemute for research on violence and firearm ownership. The team then applied statistical methods to extrapolate the survey results to the entire country.
“The fact that basically half the country is expecting a civil war is just chilling,” Wintemute says. And many expect to take part. If found in a situation where they think violence is justified to advance an important political objective, about one in five respondents thinks they will likely be armed with a gun. About 7% of participants—which would correspond to about 18 million U.S. adults—said they would be willing to kill a person in such a situation.

Biden is draining our oil reserves and sending it to Europe and China the Chinese can field 100 million supplied Biden just took 60,000 out of our military and says he’s planning to take 260,000 out soon if they don’t get their booster recent hacks in Chinese military suggest they plan to hit the East Coast and used I want is a deversion a CCP connected company manufactured at least 100 million doses of Pfizer vaccine here in the United States Trudeau sold the Chinese a deep water port last year there were videos of Chinese training with Canadian troops last year until server traffic was forced to go through government servers and now after arming civilians all over the world with your tax dollars they want to take your guns sure looks like insanity to me
I believe the Rats are going to intentionally throw the midterm elections, and possibly the ‘24 election. I think they’re going to buy into the stock market in advance of the election, and when it soars after a Republican landslide, they’re going to cash out in a big way.
I would watch TV executions and place bets in Vegas on who does and doesn’t live to see a trail!
BRAVO! ALL HONOR TO YOU!!!
I’m glad somebody here (although there may be others—I’ve not read further than you yet) knows who this gun hating lying leftist libtard is!
CIVIL WAR???
Bring it on. The left will sound the whimpering “OOPS!”, heard round the world.
If the military doesn’t step in and do its sworn duty soon then yes others among us will.
.
Agree with your observation.
Perfectly said. The media portrays the Liberals as the compassionate ones, and us as the meanies. It’s the same for illegals, they could care less about the people, they want votes and use our taxes to bribe people.
Yes, reading Twitter, the Libs are aghast at everything. They ignore all the crime, war and blue state blight and hate people like Charlie Kirk and Mark Meadows.
I am a Walking Dead fan, not the spinoffs, just the original one. Last season, FYI.
There is always a reference in nearly every few shows asking people where they were or what they did, “before the fall” or basically when civilization fell apart with the zombie virus.
I agree 100% with the latte, NYT/NPR crowd talking about pronouns and falling into woke guilt will be the first gone.
We just moved to TX from the Bay Area and my friend and I were talking about how Piedmont, Montclair and Rockridge in Oakland (nice, liberal, very white, affluent areas) will be the first areas ravaged when the SHTF. These Berkeley, educated, Lefty morons who voted for all this stuff will be the ones the feral’s will destroy in 5 minutes.
Sad, but true.
All we need are administrators - I’ve had enough of f’n leaders.
I already purchased the diesal flamethrower to burn the bodies.
Level with me. If I have Lawson’s Civil Defense Manual, do I need your book? And if so, why?

We live in interesting times.
This is a bias study with an agenda, (the “study” emphasis how all this will lead to further gun violence) it is led by Garen Wintemute, a gun control advocate , and a researcher at the University of California, Davis. They said they “surveyed 8600 adults in English and Spanish-that is not really a huge study, we would do 65,000. They have not released how the questions were asked or sequential question before-this is just more meaningless propaganda
Bout time in my book... this country needs a good cleaning.
.
I’m behind you all the way!!
. If found in a situation where they think violence is justified to advance an important political objective.
That sounds a bit lefty. You fight for law order and justice.
The Biden regime will unleash WWIII before they allow themselves to be defeated in an honest election.
I wonder how people actually understand this? Yeah they see the heavily opposed sides but do they understand that we are 4 months from probable calamity? The left have already shown that they’ll steal what they can’t win.
