Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.

It’s a sharp rise from 18 months ago, when 19% of Americans said the same.

        That’s your interpretation, but this could also be an indicator of fascists becoming more violent. Which is terrifying.

            I never said anything remotely similar to that, I think you’re misunderstanding me. I’m just saying that the way a conservative or a fascist views “getting the country back on track” is very different from the way liberals and leftists do. I’m pointing out that the question targeted Americans as a whole, not a specific political leaning. Especially when conservatives have had their slogan he “make America great again” the idea that they want to “get the country back on track” but with a very different definition of back on track shouldn’t be that surprising.
