Goddamn horseshoe theory skewing this metric
You’re right, why can’t it just be enlightened centrists doing nothing to stop the far-right? That’s the American way afterall.
The real violence is the bodacious left, not the fascists in charge and all their supporters killing so many people.

Thanks for finding that. My first thought was wondering how it was laid out by political beliefs. I’m sort of not surprised that the republican view was already the highest, and stayed that way, and sort of surprised that it wasn’t higher to begin with. I guess they likely wouldn’t consider military deployments and ice kidnappings to be violence.
