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.

      Actually, yes.

      The ruling class has such a stranglehold on power, the only way to take it away from them is to take it back by force.

      They will never give up willingly and have more than enough resources to make sure people like you are complacent in their abuse.

      No, I think the violence is a symptom, and that political violence is happening and we have to stop pretending it’s not. This is the state we’re in, no amount of crackdowns or “turning down the temperature” is going to change things

      If you look at the cause, it’s obvious there’s just going to be more and more violence. That’s what happens when you make people desperate, and people are getting more and more desperate
