Power Line's first-among-equals - John Hinderaker - considers the (mostly) women rooting for the exoneration of executive-slayer Luigi Mangione. The statistics Hinderaker cites are abhorrent.
In polling done shortly after he murdered Brian Thompson, 68% of liberals said they had at least some sympathy for Mangione, and 31% of liberals said they had a lot of sympathy.
Moreover, 35% of liberals said they not only sympathized with Mangione, but specifically supported his decision to murder Thompson. Fourteen percent of liberals described themselves as “very supportive” of the murder.
Which leads Hinderaker to conclude:
I think it is increasingly questionable whether we conservatives can continue to share a country with liberals. It saddens me to say it, but there seems to be little basis for any common citizenship.
My reaction to this conclusion: You could very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment in a public forum. (classical allusion)
