"The thread is directly related to polls of both parties being asked if they approve of violence for political means."

Are you capable of entertaining the concept of fighting fire with fire, that the numbers on the left are a reflection of and a reaction to all the political violence Republicans have unleashed in Trump's second term?

Maybe discuss the topic a little bit. Is that in your wheelhouse?

Two examples, the reactions to the killing of Charlie Kirk, and the CEO of United Health.
Not the actions, the celebrations.

You seem to want to judge the reactions, without ever mentioning the actors being reacted to.
Without contextualizing the reactions in the milieu of the life's work of a CEO who let people die for profit. A hate preacher who said gun murders are a fair price to pay for living in America.

Charlie Kirk preached political violence.
Being happy he's dead isn't preaching political violence.
It's being happy a preacher of political violence is dead.
That's pretty much the opposite of endorsing political violence.

I'm not aware of anyone on the Left who said Charlie Kirk needs to be murdered. It was Nick Fuentes who said that. And that's what Trump says about his political opponents too. Charlie Kirk was a a political opponent of Trump on both the Epstein Files and the Gaza Ethnic Cleansing.
What we on the left said, and still say, is that by Charlie Kirk's beliefs, Charlie Kirk believes Charlie Kirk's murder was justified.
If you can't understand that, you're unfathomably stupid and I'll just stop wasting my time on you. Deal?
