The deep-seated animosity fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached alarming new levels, pushing a significant portion of Democrat voters to embrace extreme, even unconstitutional, methods to remove a sitting President of the United States. For a party that claims to uphold democratic norms, this revelation is nothing short of breathtaking.
A recent Liberal Currents/Center for Strategic Politics poll, highlighted by CNN pundit Scott Jennings, starkly illustrates the radicalized hatred harbored by the left against President Donald Trump.
"We polled five routes for Trump to leave office before the end of his term," the pollsters stated, detailing disturbing findings. "A plurality of Dems support four of them, including a military coup and death by natural causes. The only one underwater, an assassination, is still supported by 29%."
That nearly one-third of Democrat voters would endorse the assassination of the President speaks volumes about the dangerous climate of political violence festering within the hard left. This is not merely an academic exercise; it follows a grim period of actual political violence, including the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, an event that, sickeningly, garnered celebration among some on the far left. During the 2024 presidential campaign, countless leftists openly expressed a dark desire for President Trump to be 'taken out' by an assassin's bullet. This is, to put it mildly, a profoundly dangerous mindset.
The sheer hypocrisy is undeniable when dissecting the poll's specifics. While radical elements of the Democrat Party have spent years lamenting the so-called "January 6 insurrection"—their loaded euphemism for a non-deadly, mostly unarmed riot outside the Electoral College during the 2020 election objections—they simultaneously champion a military coup as a legitimate means of presidential removal. Apparently, common sense needed a permission slip on that particular point.
A breakdown of the poll results shows the overwhelming support among Democrats for various removal methods: Impeachment and removal garnered a +80 net support, the 25th Amendment received +77, natural death saw +40, and astonishingly, a military coup was supported with a +32 net positive. Only assassination registered a negative net support at -12, yet still alarmingly found 29% support.
This illuminating survey, encompassing 683 Democrat voters, was conducted by the Center for Strategic Politics in collaboration with Liberal Currents, as reported on September 21 by Chance Phillips. The poll delved into a range of topics, from future presidential fields to profound structural changes and the willingness to pursue criminal prosecutions against political opponents.
Beyond Trump's removal, Democrat respondents showcased a clear desire for major structural overhauls of American institutions. A majority backed eliminating the Senate filibuster, while a staggering 69 percent supported expanding the Supreme Court. Sixty-eight percent expressed a belief that America would benefit from accepting even more immigrants from diverse backgrounds. The poll also revealed net support for public ownership and operation of essential sectors, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, the electrical grid, railroads, and even artificial intelligence—a clear blueprint for a socialist takeover.
The radical agenda extends to weaponizing the very instruments of justice. Broadly speaking, Democrats also endorse using the Department of Justice to launch political prosecutions against President Trump and his dedicated advisors.
Targets for such political weaponization include: those who support vital American institutions like ICE and Border Patrol (+63 net support), Stephen Miller specifically (+61), and Pete Hegseth (+53). The pollsters note that many Democratic voters "want, more than anything else, accountability for the last two years of Trump’s administration decimating American institutions." This thinly veiled accusation, devoid of factual basis, merely reflects the left's desire to punish political opponents under the guise of "accountability" for perceived slights against their establishment institutions.
This disturbing survey offers more than just a glimpse into the alarming extremism gripping the Socialist Democratic Party; it provides a chilling preview of the radical policies and authoritarian tactics Americans can expect if this ideologically driven party seizes power in the upcoming November elections. The future of a free, constitutional republic hangs in the balance, demanding vigilance and unwavering defense of America First principles against those who would undermine its very foundations.
