tracking the increase of Americans, specifically on the left, who think that political violence is okay.
And it's reaching new heights.
As of January 16, 34% of those polled agree that Americans, quote, may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.
That's up from 11%.
in October and down from 40% at the June No Kings protest.
That, of course, being the Indivisible, all these sort of left-wing groups coming together under this big consortium to basically depose Trump.
And I think there's a very telling quote in that article from the executive director of the Women's March.
And I'll read it.
It says, I don't think that there's an intervention that will have the MAGA regime see the error of its ways.
I do think there are interventions that demonstrate the political, electoral, and financial costs
of authoritarianism.
And I think that what you can take from that, and you see it in their tactics, they're not looking to have a debate, right?
They're not looking to change our hearts and minds.
They are just trying to use violence.
And we saw that with Charlie Kirk.
The other reason that I played that clip is the way that, I mean, talk about callousness, but the way that that individual, Stephen Levitsky, talks about the Charlie Kirk assassination,
They point to that as something that was unfortunate for their side.
Because the Trump administration tried to crack down on the left wing groups that I'm sure riled up the person who shot him.
And the irony in all of this is that those are the people who are lecturing us on violence.
And again, if you have to create a whole center called nonviolent protesting, that's up at Harvard.
