Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.
It’s a sharp rise from 18 months ago, when 19% of Americans said the same.

Guns do not protect you from Fox News.
I disagree with Lemmy (and the growing public sentiment), but for the opposite extreme reason: we are beyond violence changing things. This is a propaganda/reality war, and truth doesn’t really matter.
There are only two things that counter propaganda.
Extreme direct violence. Since by necessity propaganda requires you to be at least 1 stepped remove from physical interaction.
Or long term mass and mandatory education and social freedom.
The second one isn’t viable at the moment so…
I don’t agree. Information bubbles have an iron grip on everyone. Extreme violence is hidden from the masses and/or spun and blown into a disproportionate response.
I would cite COVID as a recent example, where it literally infiltrated everyone’s houses and killed or almost killed, yet it still lost the information war and was otherwise forgotten.
The only option at scale is pressure points (like the Epstein files, an actual social security disaster, things like that).
