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

That's 44% of all Democrats self-identified as Democrats in our survey. matched

This is a stunning number, Chris. matched

This is not just another turn of the data. matched

And the data doesn't bounce all over the place in case people think, oh, it's just randomness in the data. matched

Also, we know what those numbers mean more than just with checkboxes. matched

So, Chris, we have conducted over the years focus groups. matched

We have, and I mean hours-long focus groups. matched

Think of them as like a podcast, like what we're doing here, except with 70 people, done with a European moderator. matched

So it's helpful to have a European moderator. matched

So it produces a little bit less bias on the part of the people involved in the focus groups. matched

But more than that, we've also done further what are called survey experiments to understand what people really mean when they say the use of force is justified to prevent Trump from being president. matched

And what we found is 55% of the time, they mean assassinating President Trump with rifles as the attempt that failed at Butler. matched

So they say this in so many words when you push them. matched

Now, not everybody, but 55%. matched

So just keep in mind, that's a very healthy number. matched

So when I say 25% support the use of violence, this is not, oh, they just mean yelling at President Trump. matched

There's others beyond that 55% that mean having a January 6th style Democratic riot like January 6th, but it's among Democrats. matched

So there's that use of force phrase that we have, Chris. matched

Now, we also have, before we just only focus on the support for political violence on the left. matched
