1 in 5 Americans think violence may solve U.S. divisions, poll finds - Lemmy.World

12% of dems and 28% of republicans… that says something

To be fair, the question was “do you think violence is necessary for the US to get back on track

Make America Great Again is the Republican line, so of course the poll is going to lean this way.

Congrats. That’s probably the dumbest attempt to grasp at straws I’ve seen all day.
I’m looking at what the polling question actually is. Liberals, kinda by definition, don’t want the country to “get back on track” or return to a period of former greatness.
I would agree we’re pretty far off the track. Remember when the biggest scandals were presidential blowies and tan suits?

How about Watergate? There have always been scandals.

Or on another note, how about when presidential blowies were a scandal, gay people couldn’t even get married? The appeal to an idealized past is a conservative thing.

I’m not saying turn back the clock, I just want politics to stop being so… I mean marjorie taylor greene exists, for fucks sake.
