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.

    I have become worried I’ll need to defend myself against violent republicans because they are always talking about and actively hurting others.

      I know so many that wouldn’t throw the first punch but are eager to join a dog pile.

      Your concern is valid. “Worry” is a useless activity. Prepare.

      They might not explicitly call themselves republicans. They might be implicitly or explicitly backed by The State. But there is a growing number of people with weapons and unmasked hate for othered humans.
