Modern Wisdom · Democrats vs Republicans: Who Is Actually More Violent? - Robert Pape #1154 · 24 Sep 2026 podcast

I'm revealing it here on your show for the first time in front of anybody. matched

Nobody else knows what this data is on support for political violence. matched

What we are seeing in the data is not a normal election coming. matched

What we're seeing is a cycle that I call America's domestic escalation trap, where whoever loses in the midterms matched

We are likely to see not just simply passive acceptance or even peaceful protests. matched

We are likely to see violent protests, whoever loses, that may be larger than January 6th. matched

And I say that, Chris, not just to be alarmist, but it's because of the data. matched

And that data is literally screaming at us. matched

So we fielded a nationally representative survey of support for political violence in the United States, as we have done. matched

This is our 21st, so we've been doing this every three or four months for the last five years. matched

and the numbers jumped off the charts compared to what we have seen before. matched

So what do I mean by that? matched

We ask questions such as, do you support political violence to remove President Trump from the presidency or to prevent President Trump from being president? matched

That is the anti-Trump or anti-MAGA political violence. matched

Normally, we would see, several years ago, 6% of the American public support anti-Trump political violence, maybe 9%. matched

In September 2025, just before Charlie Kirk was assassinated, it was 14%, already fantastically high. matched

That's over 30 million Americans, just to put that in numbers. matched

What did we find this year, the next year, that we just really, the numbers just literally came in off the presses? matched

25% of American adults support the use of force to prevent President Trump from being president. matched

That equates to 65 million American adults. matched
