    A new report shows that 46 percent of Republicans would not accept the election results as legitimate if the Democratic nominee wins, and 14 percent of all Republican respondents said they would take action to overturn the outcome if the opposing party won.

    On the Democratic side, 27 percent said they would not accept the 2024 results as legitimate if the opposing party won, and 11 percent of Democrats said they would take action to overturn results.

    The World Justice Project surveyed 1,046 Americans across the country to predetermine their response to the 2024 presidential election. It conducted the poll in June, before President Biden withdrew from the election and endorsed Vice President Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate.

    No one should be surprised by this and it's actually quite sad

    None of that matters. What does matter is whether leaders accept their loss or whether they lie about the outcome and incite violence. If Harris loses I guarantee you she wont blame the election counters, claim votes were manipulated, and call for a riot.

    How is this election this close??

    So 46% of Repubs vs 27% of Dems say they won't accept the results if the other side wins. Given that only one party has actively tried to steal an election, the Republicans in 2020, seems like it should be the other way around.

    Venezuela here we come!

    Seriously, great nations never last. No citizen of America as conceived and practiced for over 200 years should ever contest a free and demonstrably fair election. That some do is why great nations never last.

    I will say unequivocally that no true American should support Trump. A true Republican, maybe, but not a patriot. Forget policy! We can argue and fight about that. Look to fealty to the Constitution, the rule of law and our traditional values. No nation with those as its pole star will fail. Every nation which ignores them will not last.

    It's as simple as that IMHO.

    Hopefully it does come to it, but if the nation wants to go to war, saving democracy is worth fighting for….

    I can’t remember if I saw this here, or somewhere else, but this is how it would go…

    Democrats secretly want vote fraud and/or the assassination of Trump. How else can they save our democracy.?

    The Biden-Harris administration deliberately killed Gonzalo Lira sp why wouldn't they jkill Trump.? So they use incendiary rhetoric and give Yrump less Secret Service protection than he needs.

    Trump is 4-5 points ahead of where he was in 2016 or 2020. He can only lose by fraud imo. And yes Dems are working hard to rig the 2024 election

    I know we have a tendency to vilify our opponents in America but maga is insane. Anybody who votes for the tangerine fascist needs their head examined.

    The people inciting assassination attempts against a presidential candidate in 2024 and the people trying to carry it out aren't MAGA. They support Kamala for president.

    You might want to ease up on the confession by projection.

    Not quite analogous to attempting several ways to try and overthrow an election, now is it?

    But the point is that neither side accepts election results. The difference though is the left won’t admit it. All the whining and crying and hashtags, and they’ll look in the mirror, and tell you how they are unifying the country and are the party of perfect people.

    because global inflation caused by a once in a century pandemic is being blamed on the Democratic Party.
