The Sofa Seals will never show up if the rubber hits the road. I think the result would be very close to throwing a war and nobody coming.

that's what they really mean.

with deadly results. When right wingers choose violence we need to stop excusing it with mental illness. It's violence and intimidation against civilians to pursue a political motive: it's terrorism.

I marinate in Fox, News max, Alex Jones, Charlie Kirk etc all those other awful deplorable who spout race and hatred.

Also, every time I see this mentioned most are thinking the pork chop squad against US troops. That is NEVER going to happen. They know they can't win like that and they don't have the balls. What they are going to do is make the US look like the 70s, for those of you who have forgotten, car bombs, house bombs, arson, kidnappings, hijackings. Now let's add in some newer scenarios - you don't need a gun or to even leave your home to hack a water supply, the 911 system or grid.
If this still doesn't convince you, the Afgans beat us AND Russia with a handful of 50 year old rifles and a pile of rocks.

To write this crowd off is a huge mistake.

Yes, they can and will commit isolated terror attacks but as long as Trump doesn’t get into office it won’t be anything near a destabilizing force for the country. Not even close to anything like Russia and Afghanistan.

the US is on track. the problem is you.

what % of that 20%? .00000000002?

Yeah, no surprise there.

Long after Trump is gone, we'll still have to deal with right-wing extremist violence.

Shrug!

I have no desire to shoot my neighbors but is i understand that some locals magas would love to shoot the likes of me

so how would i answer the question.

They don't want to admit their lack of faith out loud.

Because they feel an expectation from their families.

They commit the violence, we put them in prison, country gets closer to being on the right track. We may need more prisons though

It polls much more than violence. Huge difference between Independents, Republicans and Democrats on immigration and other issues. 51% of Rep, 55% of Ind want all undocumened immigrants deported, versus 23% of Dems.

A few other issues too.

We have a ton of ‘gravy seals’ here. There has always been a violent underbelly to America.

Do Americans have to resort to violence to get the country back on track?

In terms of the 12% of Democrats who strongly agree it may not be so much "we're going to kill you to get our way" as "they are going to get their way if they don't get killed."

Also, it doesn't specify who is perpetrating the violence. Americans resorting to violence for Republicans may be them using their guns to start a revolution whereas for Democrats is may be more like state violence (authorizing the National Guard to use violence against insurrectionists, for example).

For a survey research perspective, it actually is a relatively poorly worded question and the headline is not an accurate reflection of the results they report.

Fuck 'em.

But the other feels there may be no other choice in the matter after all civil and peaceful options were tried and failed.
