Most Americans, no matter their political affiliation, do not believe that violence is a solution to domestic political divisions, according to the latest PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll.
Undoubtedly, violence would solve America’s divisions- but is it the best way to do so? The real questions are, how long would that take, who would ultimately be the losers, and would it even be “America” when it all ends?
That’s because commoners were united against elites. Roughly half of us are convinced the elites would love to give the rest of us more of their wealth if only big daddy government would relax those pesky taxes and regulations. Oh, and that every bad thing that happens is because we don’t pray in schools.
i think it’s more like roughly 10% believe that because they’re stupid. Roughly 15-20% believe that they will be rich:tm: and the rest don’t care or agree.
There has been quite some history between the revolution and the current labor rights… specifically five changes in political system including four republics and two empires. The first republic was probably less ideal than you imagine.
Basically, one side believes that they should be allowed to kill anyone who disagrees with them, and the other side believes in the “excise the tumor” approach (use force now to remove the militant extremists and fascists to prevent their proganda from radicalizing more people and making the problem worse).
Both would technically be correct just by reducing the population of one side or the other, I guess. Can’t disagree if you’re dead.
What a stupid question.

The favorite action of the, Make America Go Away, crowd.
Spreading Managed Democracy, one liberation round at a time!
The Congressional Republicans and their Fox News swallowing ilk, who have all decided they love Russia so much, should simply move there.
How would it solve divisions? Wouldn’t it just heighten them?
It worked during the French Revolution, and now they have some of the strongest labor rights in the world.

You kill all of “them” and that leaves just “us”.
That’s not the question, the question was “Would you agree that force may be needed to course-correct” rather than “could it solve division”.
