YouGov: almost every third US citizen is ready to support a military coup in the country

77
Almost a third of the US population can imagine a situation in which they would support the overthrow of the central government of the country through a military coup, reports Look with reference to the results of a survey conducted by researchers at the YouGov International Center.

YouGov: almost every third US citizen is ready to support a military coup in the country


According to the survey, the majority of respondents will not support a military coup or can not predict their reaction to such a development of the situation, however, 29% expressed their readiness to support the military.

Analysts drew attention to the fact that the Republicans are much more aggressive than the Democrats: “so, among the supporters of the Republican Party, a military coup is ready to support about 43% of the respondents.”

In addition, YouGov found out that “US citizens rely more on the military, believing that they are acting in the interests of the country - that’s the point of view that 70% of respondents adhere to.”

But the attitude towards congressmen is different - 71% of respondents believe that US lawmakers act in their personal interests.

“The number of Americans supporting a hypothetical coup is increasing in the situation when the military allegedly take the place of a civilian government found to be violating the constitution,” the researchers emphasize. “In this case, the military is ready to support 43% of respondents.”

    An interesting poll. Probing public opinion for a military coup? Is Wanga's prediction true that the black president will be the last US president?
    And a third of the country is a lot.

        Who is there to spark a flame from sparks ??? The mentality is not that ... So, balabolstvo is one ...

        In general, these polls cannot be trusted - both in our country and in theirs ... If they are ordered, they are simply manipulated, if not (and how in our time there is no - someone pays for the work of interviewers and analysts? ??) - it's not clear who you will run into in the crowd ...

        And so ... the feeling of an "exclusive nation", the absence of wars on its territory and much more will not allow giving a conscious answer to such questions ...

        The southern and northern states have been dissatisfied with each other for 150 years. A number of southern states, such as Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, are now ready to leave the federation and organize their own confederation. And most of them are in the southern, former slave states, so it’s quite clear dissatisfaction with the black president, and rising unemployment in Texas, due to the collapse of shale projects. And the general growth of protest moods due to unrest in the black population.

        1. A third of the United States is more than 100 million people.
        2. Active minority - more than 10% of the population and is not required. Any example in time and space (from St. Petersburg 1917, Moscow 1991-93 with us and contemporary events with "them"). If it flares up in the capital, separatism is inevitable.
        3. Weapons on hand in the states in units more than the population itself.
        4. Dissatisfied with the authorities is immeasurable (those in power will have more and more quantitative and qualitative sins than ours, from corruption to ... Everyone has been taught and examples have been shown).
        5. The capitalist conditions of existence, and not the life of the majority. The dictates of capital.
        6. Etc. etc.
        You can continue for a very long time, you understand.
        And the civil war in the USA 2.0 is not only and not so much ethno-confessional, territorial-cultural, racial and economic causal connections, it is the impossibility of extinguishing the war until they themselves drown in blood. There are no "peacekeepers" for various reasons. But it will be necessary to take control of their nuclear weapons immediately. And whoever does it first (or jointly in a union) will have the world "initiative".

    There will never be any military coup in the country of "true democratic values". A coup requires a bright personality. General Franco, Pinochet, black colonels at last.

Americans, as a conglomerate of people from different nations, will never be able to consolidate around an odious personality. They are too pragmatic.

    I have always said and remain in my opinion - America is like created through war between north and south - just as it will fall apart - a war among themselves.

    "almost every third resident of the United States is ready to support a military coup in the country"...

    Snickering ... On their territory there were no wars, no disasters such as in that same Africa ... And they did not experience the dashing 90s like we did ...

    I am more than sure that some of these "supporters" of the coup are dissatisfied with the government because of such a trifle that it would be simply ridiculous for us to learn about it ...

    Snickering ... Let them fight each other ... Then the USA will definitely cease to exist ... The flag is in their hands ...

    Hello. How crap this article. Nobody to do any revolutions.
    will. Cancel welfer. footstamps and then the fun begins.
    Blacks will be the first to fly, of course. in the country of 150 million trunks and these
    trunks 99% in the hands of white. Waiting in the wings. Washington will give the people a go-ahead
    and iii. we will kill the rest of the zealous ones. Moreover, all the meks and Bosnians and Chinese and others will wet the gansters. Because we all get along in peace and order. And only the ghetto doesn’t learn not to work
    do not clean up after yourself ....
    Someday I’ll write an article about how the St. Louis Fergison area suddenly
    became a city. and how they soaked Misha Brown (Michael Brown)
    Why. Because I live seven minutes from Fergison.
    Erroneous acceptance of any without a control burst of gunship
    activity cannot be interpreted as a rebellion against power.
    I’m telling you as a person with a gut and a vege.
    Thanks for attention.

      "Glocks", "wedges", but what about a pipe on the head in a dark alley? And all your "glocks" will be with those who "starred" you, and you are the sweetest in the cemetery (at best), as they say in the open one-sixth of the land: There is no reception against scrap, except for other scrap.

      Sincerely sorry. We would enthusiastically watch as in Yankerstan white, black and color selflessly cut each other. Perhaps then, the State Department is concerned about the internal situation and will not hang around the world with a lit torch.
      Sooner or later, of course, this obscurantism in America will happen, but I would like it earlier, in order to be guaranteed to be satisfied with this sight even in our century.

    How interesting will we have?
    Although to see a lot. No wonder they removed Lev Rokhlin, Akhromeev, and the same Pugo at one time.
    The authorities are afraid of the military.

    The smart learns from the mistakes of others, not the smart - at his own. A revolution, a coup, is a change of the powerful ones for others or a confrontation (armed or political) between the powerful and the people.

    Sorry. It’s not Veji who printed it. Badge. Well, I don’t know how this piece of iron is in Russian. Yes, and I’m more familiar with typing in English.
    As for your arguments about the scrap, it's clear. but we work in chernushnik in twos. And here, like in war - "fur coat" pierced - hit the box.
    I don’t want to be not polite, but if you like black so much, take them
    to yourself along with their Mess of Pobabam.
