The Rising Acceptance of Political Violence Among Left-Leaning Americans Grows

Last week, I published a paper at Scientific American that summarized some of the findings from our research at the Stand Up for Science Day of Action on March 7th.

One of the most notable and chilling findings was that support for political violence continues to grow among Left-leaning Americans who are participating in protests in the US.

Here’s the figure from the article:

A mass mobilization has been called for April 5th, with a broad range of organizations–including Indivisible, Women’s March, and 50501–calling for their members to join. Stand Up for Science has also recently called for their network to join. Events are planned in every state in the US and it looks like turnout will be big.

We’ll be in the streets in Washington, DC surveying whoever turns up (and asking the same questions).
