It’s a sharp rise from 18 months ago, when 19% of Americans said the same.

On track to what …for fuck sakes?
Reclaiming what has been stolen from the working class since Reagan.
Right? Supply side christofascism? A final coup d’etat? Splitting the country? Even the democrats are more than a little sus with their corporate allegiance, so exactly who is going to be the preferable leadership?
Half the country wants to take the express route to fascism. I don’t know if we can even fix things at this point.
1/4 to 1/3 of the country are traitors.
Remember, the last election was not legitimate.
Healthcare, housing, hope
And you think violence will get that?
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
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.
Fascism sure as fuck won’t. And fascists won’t willingly leave power until they’re dead.
That is right. “Which track” is always the needed followup question.
