Mind you this poll came out after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.... I would have thought the results would have been different I would have expected them to be significantly lower but that ends up not being the case sadly.

I thought this was pretty well known already? I'm almost certain I saw a similar poll showing the same thing around the time of the United Healthcare CEO murder.

I assumed after the super public assassination of a not crazy rich 31 year old in front of his wife and children that people would be more..... human....

Not all tribes are created equal especially attributes such as intelligence and propensity for violence

Too soon probably? People need time to process.
Also, was the poll released immediately after the assassination, or conducted immediately after? I imagine it takes some time to conduct the poll, gather the data, and release it.

I would have thought that people would have had a repulsive reaction if that makes sense…. That didn’t show up and maybe it was to early but for those to know there had been someone at least shot and not disown it is saddening

The left has always believed in killing anyone who dissents. Now they don’t bother pretending
Edit: the universities are culpable too. The cradle of toxic ideas

What is really wild is how comfortable people are with openly celebrating murder. And we are supposed to buy their message of tolerance and love? I never bought it and now we see the fruit.

When you repeat nonsense like "words are violence" what do we expect? When they call center right people fascist what do we expect? When Hitler and Nazis are on their lips what do we expect? The nonsense that is taught in Universities about political thought and history and now is spread online has consequences.
When the morals are defined by the mob this is what we get. When we throw out all the morals foundations that build our societies in the west this is what we get. Where is the yard stick? What some leftist prof says? What some blue haired tictok teacher says?

Reddit management made a conscious decision to censor and purge all independent voices.

The young part certainly shouldn't be a surprise. Almost all violent crime is committed by young adults or teenagers.
"Liberal" is a really inappropriate label for the progressives in the poll, though. There's also no surprise in progressives being more inclined towards political violence.

This is one of those even though I’m a Republican I wish I could say you are wrong but I can’t and it not only hurts but disturbs me.
