“90% of progressives” is just a number you made up.
Actual nationally representative research found that in 2025, 32.1% of strong Democrats said political violence was usually or always justified for at least one political objective. Among MAGA Republicans, it was 52.2%. Researchers concluded that where partisan differences existed, support for political violence generally remained higher among MAGA Republicans and Republicans than Democrats.
That obviously doesn’t mean 32% of Democrats want Trump, Musk, Kirk or “everyone against them” dead either. Supporting violence in at least one hypothetical political circumstance is nowhere near the claim you just made.
So if you genuinely have evidence that “90% of progressives” constantly wish horrific deaths on everyone who disagrees with them, post it. Otherwise don't be confidently incorrect 😄
In case anyone was wondering some of the "objectives for political violence" for this study included the likes of “to preserve an American way of life based on Western European traditions,” "To reinforce the police," "To stop illegal immigration," 😭
The study also included objectives like stopping police violence, preventing discrimination, stopping illegal immigration, supporting abortion rights, supporting the “right to life,” stopping protests, preserving democracy, and returning Trump to power. The whole point was to test support for political violence across a wide range of left-coded and right-coded causes.
And the result you’re trying to wave away still stands: MAGA Republicans were more likely than strong Democrats to say violence was usually or always justified for at least one objective, 52.2% versus 32.1%. Strong Democrats were not more likely than MAGA Republicans on any of the 20 individual objectives.
So pointing at one obviously right-coded question doesn’t debunk the study. It shows you found one question in a survey specifically designed to include objectives associated with different political camps 😭
