    More than half of Harris voters, 51 percent, say that America is not a functioning democracy, while 52 percent of Trump voters take the opposite view and say the U.S. is a model.

    I’m amazed only half think America is not a functioning democracy. American “democracy” is totally broken.

      The civil war is inevitable and has already started. The instigators are being hired by ICE.

        I’d say its about 99.9% of both groups. I mean, Trump got elected, and no one stopped it. Americans can’t be that attatched to a functioning democracy. Or human rights. Or not having a rapist treasonous dementia ridden piece of shit steering our country into the plantery core. Off hand, I can only think of about 4 people who id consider the true americans of this generation, and i think all four of those people are right wingers sadly. As much as i hate right wingers, it does seem like if the country is ever to be improved, itll be a lone right winger to do it.

          There was a group of anarchists who ambushed an ICE facility and shot them.

          The media quickly buried that story, which always makes me laugh when I hear how Libs say not to use violence as Trump is only waiting for an excuse. Yet when he got the perfect excuse, it’s all crickets.

      Much closer than you would probably expect. The left just doesn’t make it their whole personality.

        " There are also significant differences across parties, with Republican and Republican-leaning independents more than twice as likely as Democrats and those who lean Democratic to say they own a gun (44% vs. 20%)."

        Everybody says they want a revolutions, but nobody wants to take responsibility for the inevitable civil war that follows. -I don’t remember where I heard that but it seems relevant here.
