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.

Just an observation.
Things have been looking for a while like its going to be a Provoked Insurgency
what I mean is that when you have all three levels of the federal government, and you start attacking people. like actually attacking not just mouthing off to the microphones. you put your victims into a situation where they have no choice but to actually use violence and fight back, because doing nothing is a death sentence.
if the rhetoric stays firmly on the Paranoid Delusion Mouth Breathing Talking in Tongues Ultra MAGA level. thats where we’re gonna go. People talk about Civil war all the time and get hyped… but what are you gonna do when you GET Civil War? Bitch that the internet is out and then starve to death?
I’ve kinda been predicting this since his first term, worst case scenario (and at this point increasingly more likely) would be a Syrian civil war style destabilization from within. Fractured and splintered into a number of militias fighting locally for their perceived community/religious sect/ethnicity against a much better equipped state military that can’t cope with the scale of things. Retaliation and backlash against other groups, within and outside of said community, extrajudicial and casual killings, etc.
In other words, a nightmare. This country is just so damn big and full of so many different kinds of people and ideas
Edit bc I just remembered: FUN FACT, at my last job there was a customer I was real cool with, helped him build a Baja 5.0 Ranger. Dude was a Brazilian DACA dreamer who was a diehard trump supporter along with his family, who made it very clear his naturalization was on HIM and they wouldn’t help (they had gotten their citizenship). Very conservative, probably big bolsonaro fans.
He was one of the few trump guys actually interested in what some stupid leftie in a red state had to say, and actually heard me out on this ^ theory. I wonder where he is now.
Probably in El Salvador.
