MODERATORS
 

Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.

It’s a sharp rise from 18 months ago, when 19% of Americans said the same.

That’s just people who admit it out loud. I know a few people who hint at this too but are afraid to say it out loud, especially if they have an Alexa-type device.

I mean kicking Trump to the crib isn’t that difficult….. let’s do that and the rest of us 300+ million people can move on and have a drink.

I agree it was easy, when we had a chance to actually enforce our laws and constitution. Leadership failed to do that, and now all the leaders who had the power to do something are replaced with lackeys.

Easy is no longer on the table.

The justice system, from the government perspective, is primarily a guard against vigilantism. Once enough people lose faith in the justice system's ability to enforce the law with at least some degree of honesty and fairness, then the only option people see is to take justice into their own hands.

Ohh no, the people have an increasingly hard time to buy the propaganda that keeps them docile and compliant?

Nobody, absolutely nobody could have seen that coming. The democracy looked so healthy just a year ago. /s

Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track,

Did the survey question specify what "the right track" is?

Because MAGA has a very different definition than progressives do.

It’s happening….

I mean it's just a poll, but: what kind of violence? Hopefully organised? And what does "back on track" mean anyhow? The past years have shown us that the problem is systemic. Going back means the option for the next asshole to do the same is still there.

I've not heard a single conservative say anything about "back" on anything. Not on track, not to old school values, not a fuckin thing.

I have heard them say it's time for a new America though. A lot lately in fact. Phrasing, ya know?
