MAGA-Republikaner halten politische Gewalt eher für gerechtfertigt, sind aber im Vergleich zu anderen Gruppen im Allgemeinen nicht eher dazu bereit, sich selbst daran zu beteiligen. Eine weit verbreitete Befürwortung solcher Taten könnte dennoch ein Umfeld schaffen, in dem es wahrscheinlicher ist, dass es zu Gewalt kommt

Isn’t this called cowardice?
so to sum up. Republicans are hateful cowards. The end.
Considering J6ers range of violent crimes post pardons including paedophilia, I doubt this conclusion.
wasn’t januray 6th considered political violence? at least the intention of it
They’re too comfortable in their middle class homes with a pool and an RV and two kids. They have too much to lose and that makes them vulnerable
>generally not more willing to engage in it themselves compared to other groups
I can send your researchers some Jan 6, 2021 videos if you like.
Yeah, well, it ain’t the Democratic Socialists of America that are shooting up the local electrical power station because the library held a ‚drag queen story hour‘.
The president himself is committing Stochastic terrorism so….
Kinda moot

I imagine some of the numbers are skewed by the justice department declaring several active shooters to *not* be right wing extremists despite every identifiable form of evidence pointing that way.
Violence begets violence. But if only one side does it, it’s violent oppression. Noone likes getting stepped on, and eventually people snap.
I’m a little confused – „not more willing to engage“ seems to contradict the many studies I’ve seen suggesting that right wing ideology is positively correlated with political violence…

Constant stochastic terrorism and incitement is still going to increase the likelihood of violence from that base.
Look at the amount of death threats against MTG and the 6 senators he said should be hung, within a matter of hours.
So in other words, democrats are more likely to virtue signal that violence is bad, but they are the ones more willing to actually perform the violent acts? Sounds about right.
And I’m prettyyy sure people doing violent things, sets the precedent for other people to do violent things more than people justifying it does…
So, while I doubt this conclusion, ill address this assuming its correct.
Conservatives are inherently bootlickers that support violence to keep others down, but because they have no legit beliefs or values of their own, they arent willing to do anything to really support their supposed beliefs.
In reality, both are true – most of them have no real values, but are still willing to use violence to follow their cult.
They are not just evil.
They are cowards.
Please tell me no one’s actually dumb enough to validate this survey’s data and collection process. I get it’s Reddit, but please, please do better.
