Nearly a quarter of Americans believe that 'patriots may need to resort to violence to save the country' while an overwhelming majority think democracy is at risk in a new PRRI survey.
In this file photo, a member of the Proud Boys, right, stands in front of a counter protester as members of the Proud Boys and other right-wing demonstrators rally on Sept. 26, 2020.Researchers found that an overwhelming majority of Americans believe democracy is 'at risk' in the upcoming presidential election — and about a quarter of those surveyed said they think"American patriots may have to resort to violence to save the country.
In a statement, PRRI researchers say they have asked about this in"eight separate surveys since March 2021." They said that"this is the first time support for political violence has peaked above 20%" in their survey results. Currently one-third of Republicans support violence as a means to save the country, compared with 22% of independents and 13% of Democrats, the survey found. More specifically, Republicans who have favorable views of Donald Trump were found to be"nearly three times as likely as Republicans who have unfavorable views of Trump" to support political violence.
