4. Well, then, they'll be very disappointed to find that the storming of the Capitol

was designed to end the United States Constitution and install a dictatorship. Or maybe they won't be disappointed.

5. 100% of me disapprove of Republicans...

[BlueIdaho]

6. 45% of republicans are traitors.

Let’s destroy the party at the ballot box in every town, city, and state.

7. How could there possibly have been enough time to run a poll like this?

Polling takes time and effort. This seems a little far-fetched.

8. BTW, this IS a useless poll, unless

it was supposed to establish how out of touch Republicans are with real news.

"Based on what you heard or read about this..." Well, that doesn't mean a lot. It's a tacit acceptance that people believe fantasy as fact, and that their actual ability to make moral judgements is not being measured.

9. Yet it was of course Antifa that did it.

I have always heard and thought that being able to hold two conflicting ideas at the same time was a sign of intelligence. It is quite clear that I was and am wrong.
It is amazing that these folk can cheer something their team does and still be instantly prepared to place the blame on someone else the second it fails.

10. 21% of "independents". nt

11. Wait until they start identifying them and arresting them. People will begin

to realize it is not and OK stunt.

12. A majority of House Republicans

14. This is why these people need to be pursued and locked up

and why Trump, his administration and congressional enablers need to face accountability. No harsh punishment, this will happen again.

15. Disgusting

The republicans need to go the way of the Whigs.

16. Can confirm. Was around some hardcore Republicans today

It was non-stop outrage at the newsmedia for not putting the blame where it belongs: on Democrats.

These people have been so twisted by right-wing propaganda they are truly beyond reach.

17. Sounds about right. Just about the portion that would initially support a fascist coup.

And in short order more of them would rally to it.
