Fasten your seatbelts for the 2024 elections: Poll says more than 1/5 of all Americans and 1/3 of Republicans support political violence

The Public Religion Research Institute (hereafter, PRRI) released a poll this week on the 2024 election.

Their write up is here; a .pdf of the survey presentation can be downloaded there.


Right now, most polls are of the "who will you vote for?" variety; this one is about attitudes and will be mostly ignored by the MSM and the general public.  But it shouldn't be.

First, the big news (some of these pics will be from the survey presentation, some will from the write up):












Yes, 1/3 of Rs are OK with politically violence.

According to the Arizona Secretary of State's website, there are approximately 1.45 million registered Republicans in the state, which means a little fewer than 500,000 of them are OK with politically-motivated violence being perpetrated, presumably on those who dare to disagree with them.

And this being Arizona, I expect that number is higher in the real world.

Other things -





























Democratic voters are *really*  pro-choice while R voters *really* hate those who don't look like them.
































This one kind of ties in with the first one - Rs *really* object to any that doesn't comport with their worldview.

I'd say that 2024 is going to be popcorn-riffic, but violence isn't entertaining.
