WASHINGTON, Jan 3 — One year after the violent assault on the US Capitol, Americans remain deeply concerned about the health of their democracy and about a third say violence against the government can sometimes be justified, according to two polls published yesterday.
With the January 6 anniversary nearing, the polls offer specific causes for concern: CBS found that 28 per cent of respondents believe force can be used to defend the result of an election, while 34 per cent told The Washington Post that a violent action against government can sometimes be justified — the largest percentage in decades.
Trump had addressed thousands of supporters shortly before the Capitol assault, telling them the election had been “rigged” and that they should “fight like hell.”
