A number of posts have discussed support for authoritarianism and political violence in the United States.
One poll suggested Americans support checks and balances, but for the other party.
Public Religion Research Institute:
Support for justifying political violence has remained stable over the last three years, with a brief uptick in September 2023. Today, 18% of Americans agree that “because things have gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.” This is slightly higher than in March 2021 (15%), when the question was first asked, but lower than the peak of 23% in September 2023. Nearly three in ten Republicans (29%) believe that true American patriots may have to resort to violence to save the country, compared with 16% of independents and 8% of Democrats. Republicans who view Trump favorably are three times as likely as those who hold unfavorable views to support political violence (32% vs. 11%).
