A PRRI survey out Wednesday shows that nearly a quarter of Americans support political violence heading into the 2024 presidential election, as an overwhelming majority believe democracy is at risk.

    “We want to do violence to install a fascist regime” and “we might have to use violence to stop those people from installing a fascist regime” are not the same thing.

      In your opinion what might be something that would cause you to use violence in a situation like that? What would it have to look like for you to actually perform a violent act?

        Every act of violence from the left has been preceded by multiple acts of violence from the right.

        Now that the right openly supports violence against the left, conservatives are a constant threat to the health and safety of everyone around them. Any violence against my enemy that mitigates the threat they pose is justified in my opinion.
