Two-thirds of Americans are increasingly concerned about the potential for political violence following the November 5th election, according to recent polls. A Reuters/Ipsos survey highlighted that this fear spans across the political spectrum, with 68% of nearly 4,000 respondents expressing apprehension about violent retributions from extremists depending on the election outcome. The election, featuring a rematch between Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump, has become a focal point for these concerns. Only a small fraction of the population, 15%, disagreed with the notion that the election could lead to violence, underscoring the widespread anxiety about the state of political discourse and safety in the United States.

It's pretty alarming how the threat of government overreach and political extremism is stoking fears of violence post-election; people should be able to trust in peaceful transitions of power.
