Some Americans will go as far as supporting violence to achieve their political goals according to a new UChicago survey.
Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court, 22 million Americans now say force would be justified to restore abortion rights.
Robert Pape, director of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats and a professor, has been conducting Dangers to Democracy surveys to poll the attitudes of American adults on the use of political violence and their support for conspiracy theories.WTTW News: Your latest survey conducted in April found that two and a half years after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol you estimate some 12 million Americans still believe violence is justified to restore Trump to power.
So this is the beauty of working with NORC , which is the leading academic polling agency on the planet. This is one of our crown jewels at the University of Chicago and it’s been going since the 1940s. What NORC does is they have a panel of 50,000 people that they refresh every month. That panel of 50,000 is representative of the United States of America’s adults. So that’s true of demographic factors, geographic factors, that’s true of religious factors, ideological factors.
Well, look in the context of the country’s confidence in democracy, we have deep distrust of American democracy in the body politic. The use of force to restore Trump is not an outlier. It’s an extreme edge, but it’s not a fringe.
