    That’s not how I read it. The poll is saying that 41% of Biden supporters believe that Republicans will use violence. Not that they would use violence themselves.

      The quoted text literally says that they feel it’s okay to use violence to stop Republicans.

        To stop them from overthrowing the constitution and democracy itself? Absolutely we will.

        Yeah if they run up on the Capitol again I hope more action is done this time. Itll stop their goals, that’s what I would have put on that poll. You can’t stop bullies by being nice/patient.

        Yeah I think you’re right. My first read of it bypassed the “stop them” and I thought it was just saying they were extreme enough to use violence.

          It’s all good. I just don’t see it being read any other way. I don’t really know if they are wrong tbh. Being tolerant of intolerance paradox and all that
