'Violence is the last resort of the incompetent'

An Oct. 26 article in The Guardian said that nearly one in four Americans believe violence is justified to achieve their political views.

The Public Religion Research Institute conducted a survey, which found that 41% of those who view Trump favorably support the idea of political violence. That number jumps to 46% for those voting Republican who think, baselessly, that the election was “stolen.”

The survey found that almost one in three white evangelical Protestants, a group that forms much of Trump’s core of support, also think violence is a viable means to achieve political goals.
