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.

    Not always. The Portuguese carnation revolution happened without violence. Spain democratised right after Franco’s death.

      How can you say “Spain democratized after francos death” as if the entire bloody Spanish Civil War didn’t happen?

      By that same logic it seems that Germany also overcame fascism peacefully, because Germany democratized right after Hitlers death.
