6 in 10 Americans say U. S. democracy is in crisis as the 'Big Lie' takes root

One year after the Jan. 6 attack on the U. S. Capitol, Americans are deeply pessimistic about the future of democracy.

A new NPR/Ipsos poll finds that 64% of Americans believe U. S. democracy is "in crisis and at risk of failing." That sentiment is felt most acutely by Republicans: Two-thirds of GOP respondents agree with the verifiably false claim that "voter fraud helped Joe Biden win the 2020 election" — a key pillar of the "Big Lie" that the election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

Fewer than half of Republicans say they are willing to accept the results of the 2020 election — a number that has remained virtually unchanged since we asked the same question last January.

"There is really a sort of dual reality through which partisans are approaching not only what happened a year ago on Jan. 6, but also generally with our presidential election and our democracy," said Mallory Newall, a vice president at Ipsos, which conducted the poll.

"It is Republicans that are driving this belief that there was major fraudulent voting and it changed the results in the election," Newall said.

Nearly two-thirds of poll respondents agree that U. S. democracy is "more at risk" now than it was a year ago. Among Republicans, that number climbs to 4 in 5.

Overall, 70% of poll respondents agree that the country is in crisis and at risk of failing.

Deep partisan divisions about what happened on Jan. 6

The country can't even decide what to call the assault on the Capitol. Only 6% of poll respondents say it was "a reasonable protest" — but there is little agreement on a better description. More than half of Democrats say the Jan. 6 assault was an "attempted coup or insurrection," while Republicans are more likely to describe it as a "riot that got out of control."

We are not sympathetic. We care only for ourselves. When a family runs out of money their homes and cars are taken and sold for cheap, where the rest of us make a profit.

It’s a zero sum game of “I win, you lose”. There’s really no equal. A “non-zero sum game” means both sides are happy. But that’s rare.

Even helping homeless comes with a risk of being had. I bought a sandwich for a guy who said he was homeless, and saw him later at a grocery store with a basket full of food.

There are just people with less shame, less pride, who can psychologically take advantage of people, openly.

Yet we all - ALL - take advantage of people. Just not openly. People die of famine “over there” so we can live how we want here.

This ain’t really a call for action. Just stop acting so fcking righteous.

When you sit in church and feel holy, fck you. When you vote for the ideologue you believe will make things great again- fck you.

This lack of self awareness is our BIGGEST problem. If we could accept the fact that we are not sympathetic, and we’re actually GREEDY that’s a good first step. And we can try help people from a better position.
