45% of Republicans support the insurrection

Forums:

I thought yesterday would be a "come to Jesus" moment for many Republicans who would finally see what a monster they created.  But amazingly, 45% of Republicans support what happened.  I know, polls schmolls, but still.

At least Trump has been banned from Facebook and Twitter for the rest of his term.

Where's Thom?

Singing Helter Skelter while twirling in a light brown sweater vest somewhere in Delmarva?

45 % agree with what just happened less than 24 hrs ago ? Damm that was one fast poll, was it a Facebook ?

Nice job finally banning satan Zuckerberg , you bitch @@@@!!!

...A trumpeter family friend/acquaintance told me, "Antifa would have burned it down!" after I sarcastically asked if that was Antifa making that mess yesterday. I guess assault on Fed cops, Felony trespassing and vandalism to disrupt Constitutional business of We The People, etc etc isn't enough

Cowering in darkness somewhere.

A direct poll with a sampling of only 1,397 respondents probably isn't very accurate. Honestly, in my personal poll of Republicans (I know quite a few) at least 80% of them condemn what happened yesterday. I'm sure the actual percentages are somewhere between this poll and my poll but I would bet it's a lot closer to mine. 

27% of the US Congress supported the insurrection yesterday by objecting to the certification of Joe Biden's being duly elected President. That's a lot less than 45%, but it's still too damn many.

Speaking of statistics, the population of the United States in 1860 was 31,424,000.   Of that, 9.1 million were in the South, with 3.5 million of them being enslaved people.   That means that white southerns only made up 18% of the total population, but they were still able to cause a lot of trouble. 

It's  to soon of a poll in my opinion.  Perhaps the consequences of the severity of yesterday's actions may take a few days to set in and the polling percentage will lower.

Over 45% of repubs can't get an erection. 

and lost the election

 

wait are 45% women -  your numbers don't add up...

thom is busy still trying to equate leftists with fascists...

Looks like Thom did some lurking here just before the election.
