In the aftermath of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump Weekend heard from Professor Robert Pape of the University of Chicago. He led a recent survey into public views on whether force was justified to achieve political ends. “We found that 10% of American adults agree that the use of force is justified to prevent Donald Trump from becoming President – so that equates to 26 million American adults, and that’s really quite a stunning number. 7 % - a lower number – would support the use of force to restore Trump to the presidency…that’s 18 million people …we have really quite a radicalised set of wings here in our political system – these are two determined minorities …it’s very important we now take this data seriously because both of these wings can now spiral – you can get each of them operating on their own but they can also start to operate in reaction to each other and that really is quiet a precarious moment for our democracy” (Picture: An injured Donald Trump is led from the stage by security.
