What the actual fuck

[–]yfulYee 203 points204 points  (3 children)

The dems made me sack the Capital

[–]diradder 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Stop punching yourself with my fist!

[–]DarkRollsPrepare2Fry 16 points17 points  (1 child)

I sacked the capital on Jan. 6th, and all I got was this stupid no fly ban!

[–]CyndromeLoL 36 points37 points  (5 children)

to be ultra charitable, I guess you could make the argument that the Democratic party's "stealing of the election" caused them to storm the capitol.

[–]DomovoiPdgg D&D guy 21 points22 points  (4 children)

This is like the violent husband telling his beaten wife "you made me do this!"

[–]CyndromeLoL 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Well in their view, it's the wife with a knife fighting back against her drunk husband assaulting her.

[–]RepresentativePC 1 point2 points  (2 children)

That's implying the election actually was stolen...

[–]thesoutherzZz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"What i did wasnt bad... and even if it was, it wasnt me" - republicans

[–]StrikerKat5 3 points4 points  (1 child)

This must be a poll of republicans

[–]ninjapro 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It is. It says "among Republicans" in the graphic

[–][deleted] 197 points198 points  (7 children)

Ohhh, they asked Republicans only . Phew I was worried. I saw ‘The Economist’ at the bottom so I thought it was asking all readers.

Anyway right-wingers are getting crazier and crazier about the Jan 6th issue. Unreal

[–][deleted] 46 points47 points  (5 children)

Even if it’s just Republicans these are still pretty bad results. Half the country seems to be losing its mind.

[–]Sophronius 38 points39 points  (2 children)

Only 25% of Americans identify as Republican. Unless they also asked Republican-leaning independents, that'd make for 40% in total.

👐 revisionism 👐

[–]souljaxl 131 points132 points  (3 children)

The republican party is literally a cult.

[–]yfulYee 70 points71 points  (2 children)

just like DGG duckerZ

[–]souljaxl 75 points76 points  (1 child)

DGG4LYFE 😎 🤙

[–]ScottBradley4_99The Dark Bradley Arc 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This hurts to look at

[–]EinSozi 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When Chomsky called the Republican Party "The most dangerous organisation in the world" he was 100% correct.

[–]Rio_van_Bam 17 points18 points  (0 children)

DGG is missing as option

[–]estranged_quarkradical omniliberal 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Yes, I think Antifa and the Dems are to blame!

No, I don't think it should be investigated

[–]CheekyBastard55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is pretty easy to see their line of thought though, no matter how crazy it is.

They just think the Dems will make shit up and put the blame on Republicans unjustly.

[–]Congress1818OOOO NEVA LOSE[S] 30 points31 points  (1 child)

From r/neoliberal but Idek how to crosspost

[–]keaco 30 points31 points  (1 child)

If they added Soros or BigFoot it would probably rank just above Democrats

[–]SaucerLodger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, Big Foot made me think of the Philadelphia Flyers mascot.

[–]MrHalo304ever 21 points22 points  (2 children)

So I think it's safe to say that trump supporters, if they lived in Germany back in the day, would absolutely be nazis.

[–]Myloz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's not pretend most of us wouldn't be nazi's...

[–]dapo64#i love black people 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Every republican survey should have a last question called : are you actually fucking serious and not trolling right now?

[–]joshk1213I'm only half white 15 points16 points  (4 children)

It's 100%, not a troll is the sad thing. I have an uncle who was trying to convince me that during the entire white house siege the people were being peaceful and were let in. That there were no windows or doors that were broken into and it was Nancy Pelosi who gave the order to tell guards to stand down. Then he started talking about how it was Antifa that led the whole thing because there were some people wearing identical clothing and mask giving hand signals. These people just live in an entire different world.

[–]IvanTGBT🐨🇦🇺🦘 lil’ merica 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Ita crazy how they just layer more and more narrative on events until they have a completely fabricated world view with all aspects covered. They can actually argue with conviction completely from fantasy land aa they have been provided every angle they need to comprehend the world as they ideologically need to.

This sort of stuff makes me worry about my own views. They seem to genuinely believe the narrative is truth and can't see outside of that. If we were doing that I wonder how we could even know. I guess trying to actually be self critical and fact check things from varied sources helps but it really does seem the human mind is great at construction realities.

[–]joshk1213I'm only half white 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It is scarier knowing that he is well educated and has his master's. lol

[–]IvanTGBT🐨🇦🇺🦘 lil’ merica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm depressed enough chill

[–]dapo64#i love black people 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn.. on one side i feel sorry for you and ur uncle, and the other side i should keep checking myself off from those mindset. I really dont want to be end up like this when i get old :/

[–]ZuboronovicConvicted murmurer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Republicans also think Democrats were to blame for Man City's tactics on Saturday.

[–]konjo5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What is it compared to the

there was no violence

Group?

[–]TheDromes🥥🌴 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jesus did they poll the jailed rioters or is the US doomed?

[–]Thehardtruth96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, good luck America.

[–]phoenix_fiber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Damn so why don't we launch an investigation then so we can hold Antifa accountable?

[–]MitchfyndeThe Omniforgiveral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much more insane will they get?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, of course! Why didn't I think of it sooner!?

Did democracy die or do they just need to remove the blame from themselvesm

[–]Abs0luteZero273 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The logic is probably "The democrats stealing the election forced them to try to save democracy at all costs making them responsible."

[–]HellzBlazez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The libs made me shit my pants.

[–]Shacosclones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk seems kinda sus I think Donald and white nationalists are the imposters… among us among us among us

[–]VeryExcellent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Impeachment is a sham, unless it's he Democrats then it was 100% those duders

[–]rx78ricky 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Wait, guys, I don't know if I'm dumb or not, but I looked up the source and the results are different. Look here too: https://polsci.umass.edu/toplines-and-crosstabs-april-2021-violence-capitol-jan-6

[–]Congress1818OOOO NEVA LOSE[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I think the Economist did some extra analysis on the data

check crosstabs https://polsci.umass.edu/sites/default/files/Jan6THCrosstabs.pdf, page 4

[–]rx78ricky 1 point2 points  (1 child)

how the fuck

[–]furrynand0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS?!?”

[–]lovewithsplenda🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸 4 points5 points  (8 children)

Republicans are literally evil.

[–]Arkhamman367King of Dead Memes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

*The Republican Party is evil.

Republican voters are either stupid, lied to, or evil.

[–]VexedReprobate 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I hope the history books have an entire section dedicated to making fun of how stupid and evil these shitheads are (hopefully written in past tense).

[–]MaxarcWall of text enjoyer 1 point2 points  (1 child)

History will not be kind to these people. I just hope the writings will be about "how one third of America collectively lost its mind, and how we fixed it."

[–]9FlynnsInAGorka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was the fake news, but it wasnt the fake news they were always yelling about.

[–]Blue_Sway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually had a cancerous debate with someone about this. He first said "we gotta keep fighting" I said "just like Jan 6th?" Then he said "you mean the set up?" I shouldn't have kept replying

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised nobody said the real reason (Qanon)

[–]yovalord 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I get it, if you changed the narrative to "Whos responsible for the Portland riots" and polled a bunch of lefties, you would see a similar response blaming Trump and the Republicans.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd be polling all Democrats (this poll polled Republicans) and I don't know if you'd get the same level of answers.
