Nearly half of Republicans say they won’t accept the results of the presidential election if their candidate loses, and some of them say they would “take action to overturn” the results, according to data released Tuesday.

About a quarter of Democrats said they wouldn’t accept the results if their candidate loses, and fewer Democrats than Republicans said they would “take action to overturn” the results.

The nonpartisan World Justice Project, which keeps an index of how strong the rule of law is in more than 100 countries, gathered the data as part of a larger study. The poll was conducted through online interviews with 1,046 American households between June 10 and June 18.

      Nah, saying you’ll do something to a pollster is different than actually doing anything.

      Stochastic Terrorism means that out of 1000 people, 100 of them hate an ethnic group, 10 of them hate so much it rises to the level of violent rhetoric, but only 1 actually does violence. The good news is that MAGA is becoming deflated because Trump still doesn’t know what to do about Harris when his entire plan was about Biden. They’ll still vote for him, but being energized enough to do violence in his name is a different matter.

      If their candidate loses - not even if they think the election was manipulated. It’s likely underreported but that’s the chunk just itching for a fucking civil war.
