About 5% of the US population "support the use of force to restore Donald Trump to the presidency."

[tblue37]

Robert Pape, a professor at the University of Chicago who studies political violence, discusses his study that found today there is the equivalent of 13 million individuals who "support the use of force to restore Donald Trump to the presidency," about 5% of the U.S. population.

1. There's 5% that just like to use for force for everything.

2. Yes. There's also always the 30-35% who support oppressive Republican values and legislation so

5% supporting violence is inevitable and not surprising.

Wonder what the percent of that group who would actually follow through in that is?

3. This says 95% DO NOT support force to keep a bad man in power

That is one way to look at this.

Like a 40% chance of rain says there is a 60% chance it won't rain.

8. Saw his (Robert Pape) statistics presented differently...

(unfortunately cannot remember which network)

13 million individuals (population) "support the use of force to restore Donald Trump to the presidency" and.....

214 million individuals (population) disagree and DO NOT support the use of force to restore Donald Trump to presidency!

(13 million is minimal when you look at the big picture.) Perspective is everything.

(Several years ago, US population was over 330 million)

9. CBS does not want you to do the math! Support also not meaning actually will!

The Big 3 mass media is semi-fascist, think Dark Brandon was pointing the finger at them, cause it’s so obviously full fascist with republicans.

11. CBS

can't stop you from knowing that 5% of 100% means there's 95% that think differently.

4. Per Fox News, 5% is "Half the Country!" nt

5. they support someone else using force

They buy guns, beat their chests, but in the end they won't show up to the party. It's useful to imagine what an airstrike can do, in these thought experiments.

6. These assholes are sad and stupid people

7. Another 20% would cheer for the 1% of that 5% who actually participated

Yet another 20% would be happy with what transpires.

10. Exactly sir? But the fearmongering by CBS is all in support of semi-fascism nplay ot up.

I hate the mass media alphabet oligarch companies, they are not the friend of everyday Americans.
