I regret to inform you that half of your political enemies, at least, are suffering from incurable TDS.
A new survey of self-identified leftists say that the assassination of Donald J. Trump would be completely justified, and that's not all:
More from The Federalist:
The report, produced by the Network of Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in partnership with Rutgers University's Social Perception Lab, finds a broader 'assassination culture' appears to be 'emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left, with expanding targets now including figures such as Donald Trump.'
I mean this was pretty obvious with the "I wish Crooks hadn't missed" and the celebration of the UnitedHealth CEO's killer Luigi Mangione. But the radical left is really becoming hyper-radicalized and I think we should be more than a little frightened.
'These attitudes are not fringe — they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse,' states the report.
Here's a video that goes more in depth:
In addition to supporting political assassinations, lefties also support domestic terrorism pretty heavily.
Ironically, Bluesky, the Twitter-like app that leftists flocked to in order to avoid "hate speech," is a key denominator in the rise of calls for political violence.
Interestingly, the report finds liberal social media platform BlueSky 'plays a significant and predictive role in amplifying radical ideation.'
The Federalist has a breakdown of some of more disturbing findings:
Murder Justification: 31% and 38% of respondents stated it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively. (These effects were largely driven by respondents that self-identified as left of center, with 48% and 55% at least somewhat justifying murder for Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively, indicating significantly higher justification for violence against these figures.)
Property Destruction: Nearly 40% of respondents (39.8%) stated it is at least somewhat acceptable (or more) to destroy a Tesla dealership in protest.
Psychological/Ideological Correlations with Assassination Culture: These beliefs are highly correlated with one another, as well as with the justification of the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO and hyper-partisan left-wing ideology. (This suggests that support for violence is part of a broader assassination culture, underpinned by psychological and ideological factors.)
You're saying the Left is full of violent terrorists who use violence to achieve their goals while preaching about tolerance??
