Jordan Peterson shares poll showing white liberals embrace using violence to
pursue political goals more than conservatives This breaks the narrative the corporate MSM is telling you
Spoiler: Spoiler: Following the summer of regular riots in American cities by Black Lives Matter and Antifa members (and they were at it again in Seattle yesterday) as well as the January storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters, there is debate about which side of the political spectrum embraces violence to achieve their goals. A poll found that white liberals are far more likely to support using violence to advance their political agenda. Participants were asked: "How much do you feel it is justified for people to use violence to pursue their political goals in this country?" Respondents could answer with "Not at all," "A little," "A moderate amount," A lot," and "A great deal." The study has a total of 8,280 interviews that were conducted before the 2020 presidential election. The survey found that 95.8% of "very conservative" white respondents said violence should never be used to pursue a political ambition, which was up from 93.3% in 2016. "Conservative" respondents were nearly identical, with 95% disavowing political violence in 2020 and 93.3% in 2016. However, on the other end of the political spectrum, leftists are more likely to embrace political violence as a means to an end. According to the poll, only 66.5% of "very liberal" white respondents said it was wrong to use violence to attain their political goals. That means that over a third of "very liberal" Americans would justify using some or a "great deal" of violence to pursue their political goals. In the 2016 survey, the percent of "very liberal" respondents willing to endorse political violence was much higher at 86.9% https://www.theblaze.com/news/politi...ordan-peterson interesting |
