University of Chicago's Robert Pape said his research shows some 13 million Americans support the use of 'force' to return the former president to power.
Above, former President Donald Trump’s post referring to the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon is shown on Tuesday. University of Chicago professor Robert Paper said on Sunday that Trump is “deliberately stoking” violence and courting the theory’s followers.
Pape added that it is"clear" that Trump, one of the leading conservative figures across the United States, is aware of what QAnon entails and that his signals to its supporters could have violent repercussions in future elections. He also warned that his research indicates 13 million Americans"support the use of force to restore Donald Trump to the presidency."
"The problem that we face is that over and over in tweets by the former president, he is deliberately stoking not just the fires of anger giving him political support, but the fires that are leading to that violence," he said."That is really the heart of our problem that we face as a threat to democracy. Because if it's just a political threat, well then we can have elections.
