"SNIP........

A new Washington Post-University of Maryland poll finds “the percentage of Americans who say violent action against the government is justified at times stands at 34%, which is considerably higher than in past polls by The Post or other major news organizations dating back more than two decades.”

And the view is partisan: “The new survey finds 40 percent of Republicans, 41 percent of independents and 23 percent of Democrats saying violence is sometimes justified.”

1. So they think they can beat the US Army or they think the military is going to be on their side?

2. I want to see the actual question that was asked.

And I did. The choice is ever or never justified. Reporting that 30% say sometimes is not accurate.

4. Is it violence against the "government"..?

Or is it violence against the "government" that a majority have voted for, to represent them in Congress? Does majority mean nothing? Or do guns and threats mean more?

When Jefferson said that the price of liberty was eternal vigilance, I don't think he discounted the possibility that sometime any or all of us will have to fight for our liberty.

Would you fight and die for a lie? Where is the evidence anywhere that shows that Donald Trump won the last election? They don't have it but continue to believe it. Why?

One guess is as good as another.
