This is disturbing.

You know how polls are but you know if anyone feels this way about any assassination attempt, there are some serious changes to be made. From the top rung on down.

About one-third of Democrats say they wish the assassin's bullet directed at former President Donald Trump earlier this month did not miss, a new poll suggests, a potential reflection of the volatile political climate engulfing the United States.

A snap July 18 survey of 235 Democrats conducted by University of Buckingham Professor Eric Kaufman examined whether people agreed with a statement declaring that "I wish Trump's assassin didn't miss."

The survey was commissioned five days after Trump narrowly escaped death as an assassin's bullet grazed his ear at a July 13 rally in Pennsylvania but did not kill him. However, one attendee was killed and two others were injured.

Kaufman, a politics professor, stated that based on his research, "a third of Democrats support the attempt on Donald Trump's life." He expressed gratitude that the remaining two-thirds of Democrats in the sample did not support it.

"This raises the question of which kind of Democrat backed the killing of Trump," Kaufman wrote. "Support for the statement hardly varies by age, race or education, but is connected to ideology and partisanship."

The USA has certainly come into a very dark and dangerous place when about 1/3 of one side of the supporters of an American political party wishes that an assassination attempt upon a major political opponent was successful.

Yes. It’s terrifying actually.

It's probably more than that. Tbh

 

[HARK!]

"This raises the question of which kind of Democrat backed the killing of Trump,"

I suspect the same kind who burn and loot during their "mostly peaceful' protests.

I hope that they don't start a civil war when Trump wins.

Good point. These were the ones who were passionate enough to admit it.

Same here. Very scary indeed.

There is ugly talk on both sides.

Log Cabin Republicans are wishing for the death of Joe Biden here:

Log Cabin Republicans chapter wishes for death of Joe Biden using 'kombucha girl' meme

The national group held a fundraising event last weekend at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

www.advocate.com

The Log Cabin Republicans’ Los Angeles chapter posted a meme on its Instagram Story that appears to celebrate the death of President Joe Biden.​

​

The meme is no longer available online but was captured in a screen shot by Meidas Touch.It shows the internet personality known as “kombucha girl” reacting negatively to the message “Joe Biden 2024” but positively to one that says “Joe Biden 1942-2024.”​

​

​

And this was an incident where Republicans turned on one of their own:

How death threats get Republicans to fall in line behind Trump

The insidious way violence is changing American politics — and shaping the 2024 election.

www.vox.com

There was a clear reason for the madness. Many of the Republican faithful had recently decided that Maricopa County had been the epicenter of “the steal,” Joe Biden’s theft of Arizona from Donald Trump — and the entire presidential election with it. This wasn’t true, obviously. Richer tried to tell them it wasn’t true, hoping his long track record in the state Republican party would give him some credibility.​

It did not. What happened instead reveals a pattern that is quietly reshaping American politics: Across the board and around the country, data reveals that threats against public officials have risen to unprecedented numbers — to the point where 83 percent of Americans are now concerned about risks of political violence in their country......​

​

The more he tried to convince people that the 2020 results were legitimate, the more hostile the audience became — and not just at this one event. He recalls people at Republican meetings getting in his face, grabbing him, and even banging on his car windshield in the parking lot. Richer kept attending party meetings for three months, hoping that the attendees’ behavior would go back to normal.​

But they didn’t.​

​

The once-friendly events were emotionally exhausting — and, worse, potentially even dangerous.​

“I was a Republican activist. That’s what you do: show up to events,” Richer recalls. But eventually, “you don’t feel comfortable.”​

By 2022, when Richer was presiding over the November election’s ballot tally, his office was fortified like a military base: surrounded by armed police deployed to protect him and his staff from threats. He recalls numerous staff members quitting on the spot after heated confrontations — and he was personally targeted by credible threats. When we spoke, he was about to testify in one of three federal cases against people who had vowed to kill him.​

​

Donald Trump posted something inflammatory about McConnell:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/10/01/trump-mcconnell-death-wish/

Former president Donald Trump is facing blowback for an inflammatory online message attacking Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that many viewed as a threat.​

“He has a DEATH WISH,” Trump posted late Friday on his Truth Social platform, criticizing McConnell for agreeing to a deal to fund the government through December. He also disparaged McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, who served as Trump’s transportation secretary and was born in Taiwan, in racist terms, calling her “his China loving wife, Coco Chow!”​

​

Perhaps both sides need to watch what they say.

Why is surprising that people who think Trump is a National Socialist want him dead? There are even people on CF who think Trump is a fascist.

Of course many support what Thomas Crooks did. He was only trying to defend democracy after all.

They are after all the party of tolerance and inclusion right? Aren't they opposed to guns because of gun fatalities? Or is it that want to chose the victims?

There are rotten apples in every group. I highly doubt these types represent the whole party.

You are right about that. The vocal minority. Both teams have them. I find the conservatives raucous cheerleading team to be slightly more attractive.

 

[Francis 1928]

The problem, I believe, is that there are so many immature voters. If we limited the people being asked to those over the age of 25, there would probably be a lot fewer that would respond that way.

Young people tend to see political opponents as two dimensional - almost cartoon characters. They don't see them are real people with families to support, bills to pay, and their own opinions about what would make the world a better place. And this is even if these politicians are the sheisters so many of them appear to be.

So they have no problem celebrating killing them. However, with age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone, so yeah, some would still say they wish he hadn't missed.

Want to make american politics more adult? Raise the voting age to 21 and stop listening to protesting children at universities. They may physically be adults, but mentally they have a few years to go.

I have to beg the differ on this to an extent. Ide completely raise the voting age to 21. But you would be very surprised . I no longer comment on Tik Tok and am not on there anymore, but When I was,many of the liberals there arguing were my age or over saying horrible very immature things . Im 43.There were guys in their 50s and 60s acting like complete animals.

You never really know. That party since 2008 has gone completely far far far left.

They are no longer the party of tolerance. 4 Yrs of them looting and burning down cities proved that from 16 to 20.

The people who think this nonsense are misguided .There is no proof Trump is any of those things .

He is not any of those things.Its ironic how they claim that we are the party of Hitler when they are the antisemetic ones so much so that Harris couldnt choose Shapiro to be her running mate .It would have devastated her antisemetic base . Not to mention the convention is allowing the antisemetics to have their protesting permits but they denied the jews one . She needs those voters .
