    "...At this point, there’s a hard push toward socialism in this country.

    Most folks who believe in socialism don’t see the correlation between those policies and the collapse of Venezuela for example. They don’t understand that every time in history that food production was collectivized, people died of starvation. On the other hand, a lot of the vocal people who are against socialism have views that appear to be condescending and judgmental, neither of which is going to win over hearts and minds.

    As someone who has been dirt poor despite my very hard work, I find the opinions that cite laziness and drug use to be downright offensive. As someone who managed to dig myself out of poverty, I find the concept of having the results of my hard work “redistributed” to be equally offensive..."

    Bring it.

    100% of conservatives feel that violent action against socialists wanting to do them harm is justified.

    I know who I'd put my money on.

    "let them eat cake" only works for so long.

    Which is why polls such as these and any notions of gun owner retaliation are laughable. Leftists won't start a civil war over moderates taking back the presidency for the same reasons Trumpers won't start a civil war if the hail Mary of Trump getting impeached and removed happens. Americans are fat, lazy, and comfortable by and large

    Don't disagree with any of that. As long as they can watch Netflix, they'll be just fine.
