Forty-one percent of Biden supporters say they believe people who support the Republican party and its ideologies have become “so extreme in what they want that it is acceptable to use violence to stop them from achieving their goals.” Likewise, 38 percent of Trump supporters say it is OK to use violence to stop Democrats from achieving their goals…
A significant share of respondents question if democracy is no longer a viable system of governance; 31 percent of Trump supporters said America should explore alternative forms of government to ensure stability and progress, compared to 24 percent of Biden supporters.
those 41% of violence-ready Biden supporters mean “the police should do it” though, no way they’re gonna do it themselves
the covert fascists are more willing to use violence than the overt fascists

I wish I could remember the name of it (or Google was less shit) but there was a study done a few years back that showed both centrist voters and politicians had much less belief in and much higher distrust of democracy than either the right or the left. It was called something like ‘the extreme centre’ but I can’t find the original study.
This is polling from registered voters, too, not loonies like us
Hey there! This is Brian with Project Home Fire. Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to speak with me. Now that we’ve verified your name and address, would you agree with the statement that “the ends justify the means, and any action taken by your preferred political party is acceptable if it achieves your goals?” You would? Thats great, thanks.
