According to the highly respected University of Chicago professor, Robert Pape, who studies political violence, 39% of democrats would approve violent removal of Trump. This is scary.

“What do you think of European Union”? — “I think it would a wonderful idea.” (Thanks, Mr. Gandhi for inspiration). The tendency is clear. The world is getting more and more united.
