1 In 4 Democrats See GOP as Existential Threat to "Way of Life"
The CBS Poll, conducted in the aftermath of a left-wing gunman’s ambush of GOP legislators, indicates the American public believes the political atmosphere has created the conditions for such violence.
"And while Congress and many observers called for a more civil tone to political debate in the wake of the events, Americans of all political leanings overwhelmingly say that the tone and level of civility in our political debates has been getting worse in recent years," the CBS News report read.
Indeed, 68 percent of those polled believe that the "tone and civility" of current U.S. political debate is getting worse, while 24 percent believe it has remained the same. Only 7 percent said they think it is getting better.
In addition, 73 percent of Americans said that this current political climate is "encouraging violence." Although 68 percent of Republican respondents believe this to be true, 85 percent of Democrats and 68 percent of independents concur.

This is incomprehensible to me.
The vast majority of Dems live in polities that overwhelmingly vote Dem. Where a republican risks plenty by "outing" him or herself. The GOP and it's voters hold virtually no sway in these burgs. How can the Dems honestly see a threat?
The Trump vote seems to reflect a different attitude altogether. The desire to confine the progressives to the territory they already hold and halt their further encroachment. Stay on your coasts and in your cities and leave the rest of us alone.
How do they logically see that as a threat to anything other than their monomaniacal ambitions. They are the ones engaging in conquest and assimilation, not us.
Anonymous,
They are the ones engaging in conquest and assimilation, not us.
Yes, but they pretend that the opposite is the truth.
This upcoming "Resist/Impeach Weekend"
July 2nd with all the usual suspects,
MoveOn.org, BLM, Antifa, et al, I predict, will see the first person killed during a anti-Trump protest/riot.
Mark my words
Yep.
And, here's my prediction: If you're right, we will also see CNN/MSNBC/NYT/WaPo blaming the violence on Conservatives.
This upcoming "Resist/Impeach Weekend"
More taking it to the streets?
They are hoping for the first person killed during a anti-Trump protest/riot. No doubt about that.
Are we going to see a protest every weekend as long as Trump is in office? Really?
