Poll shows 30% of Republicans think violence may be necessary to save the country.

Sixty eight percent of Republicans think Trump won the election also 26% of Independents and 6%
of Democrats think Trump won. Who the hell are those Democrats?

1. Violence is a necessary ingredient of fascism

Fascism is hostile to egalitarianism and loathes liberalism. It champions ‘might is right’, a Darwinian survival of the nastiest, and detests vulnerability: the sight of weakness brings out the jackboot in the fascist mind, which then blames the victim for encouraging the kick. Fascism not only promotes violence but relishes it, viscerally so. It cherishes audacity, bravado and superbia, promotes charismatic leaders, demagogues and ‘strong men’, and seeks to flood or control the media. Even as it pretends to speak for the people, it creates the rule of the elite, a cult of violent chauvinism and a nationalism that serves racism.

2. To save the country from Republicans? n/t

So the outfit that did the "poll" was the Public Religion Research Institute, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Religion_Research_Institute . It's founder, Robert P. Jones, doesn't have his own W'pedia page, but here's what the PRRI W'pedia page says about him:

He is the author of The End of White Christian America (2016), which won the 2019 Grawemeyer Award in Religion. Jones is also the author of the 2020 book White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity, in which he reveals that his distant relative who died in 1818 owned three enslaved people.

W'pedia says PRRI is "nonpartisan". Maybe PRRI is not directly affiliated with the D Party, but calling it "nonpartisan" is disingenuous. The question asked in the poll is clearly broad, while the interpretation is dishonestly narrow, basically Prog Propaganda Fodder.

     100% of liberals think the first two amendments need to be repealed, and that's why 30% of Republicans may be willing to bust caps.

I don't that it was Republicans burning down cities, rioting, and looting over the last few years. Don't think it was Republicans at all.

And they sure as heck weren't trying to "save the country."

Sure does sound like the DUmbass is describing the left in this country to me. Antifa....Burn Loot Murder.....everyone at the DUmp.....the DNC. All of them fit the above post perfectly.

What's worse, THEY can vote your way into socialism, and you'll still have to shoot your way out.
