Many respondents expressed support for violence against Trump, including assassination and even death while in office. A meaningful portion of Democrats also favor using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office under the claim that he is &#8220;declared unfit,&#8221; even suggesting military coups as a means to uphold the Constitution. The poll highlights an alarming embrace of political violence within parts of the Democratic Party, with past surveys indicating some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-rep-cori-bush-was-faith-healer-for-religious-group-that-claims-to-have-cured-cancer-aids\/\" title=\"Report: Rep. Cori Bush Was \u2018Faith Healer\u2019 For Religious Group That Claims To Have Cured Cancer, AIDS\">left-leaning individuals<\/a> consider assassination justifiable. The piece criticizes this mentality, labeling it indicative of a growing &#8220;assassination culture&#8221; and questioning the party&#8217;s claim to defend democracy, given their willingness to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dems-keep-mentioning-a-knife-fight-time-to-take-them-literally\/\" title=\"Dems Keep Mentioning A &#039;Knife Fight.&#039; Time To Take Them Literally\">endorse extreme measures<\/a>, including undermining constitutional processes. Prominent figures like Gavin Newsom have called for resisting Trump at all costs, portraying efforts to stop him as necessary to &#8220;save democracy,&#8221; which the article argues involves silencing political opponents and disregarding legal and constitutional norms.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In its latest edition, Liberal Currents asks, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liberalcurrents.com\/what-are-democrats-thinking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What Are Democrats Thinking?<\/a>\u201d A lot of them are thinking about a dead President Donald Trump, according to a new <a href=\"https:\/\/stratpolitics.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Liberal-Currents-2028-Democratic-Presidential-Primary-Poll-Crosstabs-Sep-2026-For-Public-Release.pdf?ref=liberalcurrents.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poll<\/a> featured in the left-wing digital magazine. <\/p>\n<p>The poll, conducted in partnership with the <a href=\"https:\/\/stratpolitics.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Liberal-Currents-2028-Democratic-Presidential-Primary-Poll-Crosstabs-Sep-2026-For-Public-Release.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Center for Strategic Politics<\/a>, finds about one out of every three Democrats responding would like to see Trump assassinated while speaking at a rally. The survey of 683 Dem voters found 23 percent would feel \u201cvery positive\u201d about the violent scenario posed. Another 8 percent would feel \u201csomewhat positive.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>More than half of the TDS set would welcome \u2014 at least at some level \u2014 the president dying in his sleep while in office, according to the poll, conducted on Sept. 3 and Sept. 8-10. <\/p>\n<p>So much for the peace-loving left.<\/p>\n<h2>Upholding the Constitution Through Coup<\/h2>\n<p>No surprise, many Democrats want Trump out in the worst way. It is curious. For a party that fancies itself the <a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/187000\/democrats-true-defenders-constitution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">defender of democracy<\/a>, today\u2019s Democrats are cool with a \u201cby any means necessary\u201d approach to getting rid of their hated political foe. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRestoring our democracy and upholding the Constitution. The three branches of government should be equal in power and the executive branch has usurped that power,\u201d one poll respondent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liberalcurrents.com\/what-are-democrats-thinking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a>, according to the publication. <\/p>\n<p>But apparently military coups are an acceptable way of restoring said democracy and upholding the Constitution, according to a majority of respondents. To \u201csafeguard the Constitution,\u201d 43 percent of Democrats surveyed said they would find it \u201cvery positive\u201d if \u201ca group of U.S. military leaders\u201d remove the president \u2014 their commander-in-chief \u2014 from power and \u201cassumed control of the United States.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Yes, nothing says representative democracy quite like a junta. Did the pollster survey the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/02\/09\/the-trump-administration-defeated-the-seditious-six-by-going-on-offense\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seditious Six?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After two failed impeachment trials, Democrats long for more of the same. The poll found 75 percent of respondents would feel very positive if they woke up tomorrow and read that Trump had been \u201cimpeached and convicted by both houses of Congress.\u201d Perhaps the good folks at Liberal Currents and the Center for Strategic Politics should take a refresher course on the Constitution. (Psst \u2026<a href=\"https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/about\/powers-procedures\/impeachment.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> the House impeaches, the Senate convicts<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p>No matter. What Democrats really want \u2014 what they really, really want \u2014 is for Trump to go now. And 74 percent of the poll\u2019s respondents would be okay with employing the <a href=\"https:\/\/constitutioncenter.org\/the-constitution\/amendments\/amendment-xxv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">25th Amendment<\/a> to remove Trump from because he is \u201cdeclared unfit\u201d to continue serving. That, of course, would require the consent of the vice president and a majority of the cabinet. And let\u2019s face it, if the Pop Tart for brains that succeeded and preceded Trump in office couldn\u2019t be declared unfit, no one can. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A majority of Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court and abolish the filibuster, but getting rid of the Senate altogether is highly disfavored (however, 34% of Dems under 45 support it). <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hEe3r5opn4\">pic.twitter.com\/hEe3r5opn4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Center for Strategic Politics (@StratPolitics) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/StratPolitics\/status\/2102089043680846094?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 21, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>Welcome to the \u2018Assassination Culture\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>The results \u2014 particularly the death wish numbers \u2014 build on a disturbing trend line: the Democratic Party is the party of political violence. <\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/04\/07\/survey-55-of-self-identified-leftists-say-killing-trump-is-justifiable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">survey<\/a> released in April 2025 found that 55 percent of individuals identifying as left of center believed it was somewhat justifiable to assassinate Trump.
