— 45% Support the Actions

Jim Holt – The Gateway Pundit Jan 8, 2021

Nearly half of Republicans support the storming of the US Capitol on Wednesday following what many see as a stolen election.

Only 27% see it as a threat to democracy.
The rest think stealing elections is a bigger threat to democracy.

Via YouGov.com:

A YouGov Direct poll of 1,397 registered voters who had heard about the event finds that most (62%) voters perceive these actions as a threat to democracy. Democrats (93%) overwhelmingly see it this way, while most (55%) Independents also agree. Among Republicans, however, only a quarter (27%) think this should be considered a threat to democracy, with two-thirds (68%) saying otherwise.

In fact, many Republicans (45%) actively support the actions of those at the Capitol, although as many expressed their opposition (43%).

    So what? If the voting was as rigged in favor of Trump, the Democrat figures in favor of even burning the place down would probably be much higher.

    The “Capitol Riots” were just more Soros funded rent-a-riot madness. As usual, the thugs involved in the violence and destruction were ANTIFA and BLM goons funded by Soros and dressed up to look like right wingers.

    In Time Bandits, the head dwarf says “I thought we all agreed this is a democracy” “Yeah, that’s right, we did” “Right, so shut up and do as I say!”

    There is no ‘democracy’ anymore, when a cabal of Jews own/manage the major political parties, mass/social media outlets & fix the elections. The correct term is a ‘Jewocracy’. But the millions of white wing clods haven’t figured this one out yet.

    Democracy! Barely recovered from my doubled-over-laughing reception of Nancy Pelosi’s ferocious assault on gendered nouns, and implicitly, on the divisive and undiversified deplorables who nurture them, I remembered Oscar Wilde. So I shall say with him: ‘Democracy is the bludgeoning of the people, by the people, for the people’.

    Go Nancy! But no, no: that’s gendered. So: Go Nnc/Ny/Ync, you bludgeoner supreme!

    Couldn’t be more of a threat than those 535 supposed representatives.
