Study reveals 'assassination culture' spreading on the left under President Trump

[VySky]

Given this poll is from April but it is relevant today. The poll was taken by Network Contagion Research Institute. Not some right wing fish wrap.

The disturbing results should make everyone take pause. And I suspect the results would be even higher today.

==================================

"A disturbing new report reveals that violent political rhetoric online, including calls for the murder of public figures like President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, is being increasingly normalized, particularly on the left.

The report, from Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), found that a growing number of people are willing to justify and even applaud killing in the name of politics and a warped sense of social justice. The chilling change appears to have accelerated in recent months.

"What was formerly taboo culturally has become acceptable," Joel Finkelstein, the lead author of the report, 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.’""

New bombshell study reveals 'assassination culture' spreading on the left under President Trump

More than half of left-leaning Americans say it would be at least “somewhat justified" to assassinate Donald Trump, according to a new study shared exclusively with Fox News Digital.

All this poll is telling me is that the cosplaying militia whites who were game planning on the left being easy marks in any potential civil conflict should do some recalculating. Its the left who are about that life while the white right insists it was just playing on Jan 6th.

Another bombshell. LOL

Any comments on the left being pro assassination?

So you knew already the left feels its appropriate to murder someone?

I already knew the above post would be bullshit.

 

[VySky]

I already knew the above post would be bullshit.

Then you would not have been in the 55% who do think murdering Trump is appropriate.

What this poll reveals is just why the left is so gleeful about Kirk being assassinated.

They don't want to admit they actually were trying to takeover to "stop the steal" and failed spectacularly over a stupid lie.

You reap what you sow. I don't give a **** about what happens to the white wing.

Don't generalize that kind of BS, even with a poll. There are millions of people on the left who do not feel it's appropriate to murder someone - is that true or not?

Thanks for letting us know how you would have voted.

According to the poll, they are in the minority.

Those who claim they are 'protecting democracy' appear to be the most willing to kill their political opponents, apparently in their effort to 'protect democracy'.
I'm sure that Pol Pot and Stalin had similarly flawed thinking.

Thanks for letting us know how you would have voted.

Thanks for letting me know about your love of slavers.

The difference between me and you is that I'm not going to be a little bitch about you not wanting community me.

Elect a demagogue, expect violence.

I don't trust random polls. How many people were actually surveyed?

Survey Results
"To assess support for political violence, we surveyed 1264 U.S. residents, balanced to reflect Census
data on race/ethnicity, gender, age, and education.4 Respondents were asked demographic
information, political identity, several political and psychological scales, and questions concerning
their acceptance of specific forms of political violence. A score of 1 meant that the respondent
considered political violence completely unjustified. Scores from 2 to 7 indicated that they believed
there was at least some justification for political violence, and, in the case of those choosing 7, that
it was completely justified.

The survey revealed several troubling trends. Over half of those who self-identified as left of center
(56%) reported that if someone murdered Donald Trump, they would be at least somewhat justified
(see Figure 1; similar proportions supported murdering Musk and destroying Tesla dealerships). This
includes 14.1% who said this murder would be “Completely Justified.” Similarly, half (50.2%) of those
who self-identified as left of center said the murder of Elon Musk would be somewhat justified (or
greater), with about 10.7% saying this is “Completely Justified” (see Figure

3). Over ⅓ of all
respondents believe it is at least somewhat acceptable to destroy Tesla dealerships to protest Elon
Musk’s involvement in the Presidential administration.

4 Using Prime Panels, we collected 2651 respondents. Based on attention checks and those who took the survey in
unreasonable amounts of time, we cleaned the dataset down to a final dataset of 1264 responses. Additionally, we
weighted the survey using post stratification of the following demographics: race/ethnicity, age, gender, education, and
political party. Race/ethnicity, age, gender, and education were balanced based on Census Bureau data, and party
identification based on Pew Research."

Yep. People are going to be less and less inclined to be benign to the white rights desire to turn the law against them and their fellow citizens. You reap what you sow. Who told you geniuses to sow anger and hatred across nearly every demographic save uneducated white racist evangelicals?

 

[eohrnberger]

Rather humorous the response from left leaning posters here when their believed self-image doesn't match up with the underlying reality.
They are all just so shocked at these polling results, where their own fellow left travelers are so inclined to assassinate their political opposition.

But let's face it, the Dems, Libs, and Progs have tried every other legally questionable, underhanded dirty trick and tactic possible, so what's left? Just that.

Wonder what Trump must be doing to foster these feelings.
