A growing number of Democrat voters support the use of violence or force to attain political ends, according to research from the University of Chicago’s Project on Security and Threats Research Center.
Democrat voters were found to be most willing to use violence for political purposes. One-in-five – 18.6 percent – agreed the force is justifiable to “protect the voting rights of Black Americans and other minorities,” and a further 12.3 percent are willing to resort to violence to “restore the federal right to abortion.”
The survey also found another 17.3 percent were willing to use force to “ensure members of Congress and other government officials do the right thing,” with another one-in-eight – 11.6 percent – Democrats seeing violence as justifiable to “prevent Donald Trump from becoming President” for a second time.
“The public is more radicalized than it was in April and it’s really quite significant… [w]e’ve been tracking this quite a while, and this is a really big bump,” argued the leading researcher Robert Pape.
