An estimated 13 million Americans or 5% of the adult population – although “American” and “adult” in only the loosest sense – agree or strongly agree with the statement “The use of force is justified to restore Donald Trump to the presidency,” CBS News reports on a CPOST-NORC survey.
“We have not just a political threat to our democracy, we have a violent threat to our democracy,” Dr. Robert Pape, the director of the University of Chicago’s Chicago Project on Security and Threats (CPOST) told “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan on Sept. 18. “Today, there are millions of individuals who don’t just think the election was stolen in 2020, they support violence to restore Donald Trump to the White House,” without elaborating on how those assholes think it’s possible.
