Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said younger voters diverge from the majority on several issues, including Thompson's murder..
Apoll found 41% of adults younger than 30 say the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was acceptable while more than the 40% in that same demographic consider it unacceptable.
A new Emerson College Polling national survey found 68% of all voters consider the actions of the killer unacceptable. Seventeen percent found the actions acceptable, while 16% were unsure.
Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said younger voters diverge from the majority on several issues, including Thompson's murder.
"While 68% of voters overall reject the killer's actions, younger voters and Democrats are more split – 41% of voters aged 18-29 find the killer's actions acceptable (24% somewhat acceptable and 17% completely acceptable), while 40% find them unacceptable; 22% of Democrats find them acceptable, while 59% find them unacceptable, this compares to 12% of Republicans and 16% of independents who find the actions acceptable, underscoring shifting societal attitudes among the youngest electorate and within party lines," Kimball said.

The Democrats (Obama) have created a very divided society. This is actually a core tenet of communism — society is composed of Oppressors and the Oppressed. You are either one or the other.
A fair percentage of society now see the “other side” as being basically Nazi racist bigots who are trying to hurt poor people. Or something. And such people “obviously” deserve death.
We shouldn’t be here. But we are.
