How much is "a little"? Do the libs count knocking over trash cans and lighting fires as violence? Or do people think it's purely about beating and killing?
Also, are people thinking violence as directed through the state as being acceptable - or are they becoming more comfortable with non-state violence? Like, it says "do you feel it is justified for Democrats/Republicans to use violence in order to advance political goals" so I'm not sure if respondents are thinking of it in terms of like police crackdowns or if they're thinking in terms of sponsoring Rittenhouse and Proud Boy Militias.
Either way, clearly the political order of the United States is quickly coming apart. A third of people (if this is any indication) is becoming comfortable with politically-motivated violence.
