About 1 in 3 Americans say violence against the government can be justified; what kind of violence do you think they mean?

Shooting/assassination, bombing, arson, kidnapping, etc...

Reasons people are talking about inciting violence:

Overreaching coronavirus restrictions
Disenfranchisement of minority voters
Oppression of Americans
Autocracy ... Tyranny ... Corruption

From The Washington Post

    None, unless they come to me to cause violence. 

    I would look at those who burnt the country last summer. Those who attacked and stole from people and businesses. Attacked goverment buildings......

    I think they mean all types of violence as long as it has Trump's stamp of approval. Cheers!

    "Violence for political purposes; Trump iincites violence? Trump is either unaware of this or he doesn't care".

    From The New Yorker.

    I would look to those who ran into (being invited by some, of course) the Capitol building to defend the country's freedoms after being politely encouraged to do so by a man who for sure, only wished them to go in and discuss their disagreements. And that's all they did.
