I recently asked, in light of the free speech implications of the second federal Trump indictment, when the price is too high for those who seeking to jail the former president. The chilling answer is found in a new report out of the University of Chicago showing that almost 12 percent of the population, representing 30 million people, believe that violence is warranted to prevent Trump from assuming the presidency. That is almost double the number who believe that violence is warranted to ensure that Trump does become president.

As discussed in The Guardian, the Chicago Project on Security & Threats survey found many Americans are embracing violence as an option for political change.

[Sounds kinda … insurrection-y. I’m not surprised, though, and am perhaps a bit pleased that it’s *only* 30%. That assumes the poll was properly done and not constructed as a push poll, which I suspect may have been the case. — Ed

CORRECTION: I misread what Turley wrote. The number was 12% and 30 million people. My apologies. Still seems high, but within reason. — Ed]
