Calls to
assassinate and positive attitudes about killing public figures, such as President Donald Trump and others, have become more normalized in the United States, according to a shocking new report, with a rise of "assassination culture" happening particularly on the
left.
According to a poll done by the
Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), a growing number of people are fine justifying or will even celebrate political assassination, and the change appears to have taken place recently.
The report states, "Political violence targeting Donald Trump and Elon Musk is becoming increasingly normalized. Following the July 13, 2024 attempted assassination of President Trump, tolerance — and even advocacy — for political violence appears to have surged, especially among politically left-leaning segments of the population."
