The democrat party has lost its way. Its about domestic terrorism (BLM) fake news etc… Now they are trying to justify murder??? We need to get the mentally ill teachers out of the classroom and from spreading this propaganda. What is wrong with claycord for posting this bias information. Claycord is enabling the lefts mentally ill behavior. So disappointed

Would appear left’s relentless propaganda is having it’s desired effect on the weak minded, sheep lacking ability to think for themselves, highly impressionable, getting information from their hand held devices. Ask a question of them, you’ll get a thousand mile zombie like stare with eyes that look dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYIKZ42DaiA
Funny thing about liberals, goal justifies, the means. Republicans don’t seem to have a militant wing of their party the equivalent of antifa. . Last sentence was run up to video . . . . .

Polls are pointless. They poll a very low percentage of the population, and people will oftentimes lie. However, it doesn’t surprise me that a good number of progressives are in
favor of the murder of anybody they don’t agree with. Why should it surprise me? These
people are anti-American and sick in the head, and sick in the head individuals live in their
own immoral world where they find solace in rationalizing and justifying their sickness in an attempt to convince the rest of the world that their sickness is normal, and that we should accept them as such.

We’ve seen all the bizarre & crazy BS the pierced, purple haired perverts do, the violent riots, arson, the antifa attacks, the blatant lies, the anti America sentiment always.
The assassination, and multiple assassination attempts, the open threats…
They are reactionary nuts!
The acquaintances and relatives I have that are Democrats are barely clinging onto sanity…. If anyone makes any statement or suggestion that is favorable to Republicans or any conservative view they become unglued & irrational, raising their voices and losing their tempers while cussing and making little or no sense as they fire off nonsensical “facts” and call for jailing President Trump for sedition , treason and child rape on Epstein’s Island…. I kid you NOT !

Grandpa Joe did nothing as a leader to unite the country. He did a lot of MAGA this, trump that, democracy is being threatened stuff.. Would have been nice if he did some fire side chats when he got into office. Just talking directly the people about COVID struggles, help your neighbor, help you community. Could have show some quick videos of good things going on in the country. Instead he yelled stupid stuff most of the time. What a disappointment and one of the people that has created/is responsible for all the hate.

The terms “Democrat” and “Progressives” were stolen years ago for social engineering. The “dems” as we often say here aren’t the ones we grew up with. And the “woke” are actually “sleepwalkers”. Some bizarre world we are living in now. And I watch some streaming TV with ads because I’m not going to pay for the few streamers that offer “add free” because they don’t have enough I’m interested in to pay for that. So I turn off the audio when the ad break comes up. What I see is that Aldous Huxley’s warning us has now been achieved.

Can’t be killing people just because they suck.
But I say again neither side holds the
moral high ground on this.
Each and every? get the @#^$ out of here with that trash. I am a conservative, but the mental gymnastics some on the right go through are hilarious. Demand better from everyone, hold everyone accountable, stop only blaming the other side.

If you are really secure with who you are, there isn’t much call to wish others dead.
The question itself is ridiculous. We all know under the right circumstances, humans will believe anything, and therefore justify anything.

Under the progressive label you will find a lot of good people with a lot of diverse views, so I won’t label all progressives this way, but there are a significant number who support violence against people and property as the survey indicates. True believers of Karl Marx and Saul Alinsky are a serious threat to democracy.

What a terrible thing to bring up. I see this just after spending the day watching Charlie Kirk’s funeral and honoring him to my friends. How heartless to speculate on murdering someone. And in the shadow of SB 771. Unbelievable. I am so very disappointed.
