New report on faith in American democracy and elections from @BrightLineWatch

In terms of still having faith in "the people," it is reassuring to see that a clear majority of Americans still want their country to stay intact — but that's, like, kinda a minimum bar

This.... seems pretty bad: only around 60% of people who approved of Trump in early February said it was "important" or "essential" for our democracy to not have any political violence. Big Trump-driven polarization on saying equal voice & high-turnout elex are important.pic.twitter.com/fjgt3Ej6Mh

Yeah, but those are the sections of the country that always bring up secession. The situation in Texas should emphasize the difference in people talking about secession in the abstract and realizing the importance of the Union in practical reality.
