Sarah Posner is the author of 'Unholy: How White Christian Nationalists Powered the Trump Presidency, and the Devastating Legacy They Left Behind.'
A report released Wednesday by the Public Religion Research Institute and the Brookings Institution finds that an appetite for political violence has risen since 2021, the year of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Two years ago, just 15 percent of Americans agreed with the statement that “because things have gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.” Now, 23 percent are in favor — including 33 percent of Republicans.
Compare that to 61 percent of Black Protestants, 53 percent of non-Christian religious Americans, and 56 percent of religiously unaffiliated Americans. But enthusiasm for voting should not be mistaken for a commitment to democracy. While most Americans believe there is “credible evidence that Donald Trump committed serious federal crimes,” just 28 percent of white evangelicals agree.
