Research shows more Americans support violence to stop a second Trump presidency than back violence in his favor
Source: The Guardian
A survey conducted in late June from the University of Chicago found that there is now more support for violence against Trump (10% of American adults, or 26 million people) compared with violence in favor of Trump (6.9%, or 18 million people). Until January, the survey showed there was more support for violence in favor of Trump.
And of the 26 million American adults who support violence to prevent Trump from regaining the presidency, more than 30% own guns and almost 80% have access to internet organizational tools.

The survey also found that 58.6% of American adults agree that in today’s America, elections will not solve the country’s most fundamental political and social problems.

This is a discussion that has been avoided so far. The polling cited suggests that "peace-loving liberals" are losing faith in the ability of America's democratic processes to deliver meaningful results or protect us from harm.
