The report by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University Social Perception Lab notes that after the first Trump assassination attempt last July, “tolerance – and even advocacy – for political violence appears to have surged, especially among politically left-leaning segments of the population.”...
Specific findings of the report include:
- — Almost 50 percent of “left-of-center” respondents said murdering Elon Musk was at least “partially justifiable.”
- — Over 57 percent agreed at least somewhat that destruction of Tesla dealerships is a legitimate action.
- — The “strongest predictors” of violence towards Musk are “far-left political identity” and “left-wing authoritarianism.”
- — Time spent on the social media platform BlueSky also is a “significant predictor” of justifying violence.
