“Polls show the outcome of the presidential race is likely to be close. If that proves true, the result will almost certainly be contested. Legal challenges to the election process are already underway. The inevitable question, then, is whether America will experience another spasm of violence like Jan. 6, with its threat to Congress and the peaceful transfer of power. The results of an extensive survey of populist attitudes conducted in August by The UnPopulist’s parent organization, the Institute for the Study of Modern Authoritarianism, found a segment of populist supporters of President Donald Trump who approved of the protest on Jan. 6, 2021, considered the prospect of a Kamala Harris presidency as a crisis to democracy, and anticipated a historically corrupt election in 2024—a combination of concerns that could well motivate them, based on their reasoning about the event, to engage in another Jan.6-style protest.” (09/27/24)
