**SilverDudeMan** Recent Economist/YouGov polls (2024-2025) show:
- ~15% of Americans approve of the Jan 6 Capitol takeover (27% of Republicans).
- 29% view participants more as engaging in legitimate political discourse; 46% as violent insurrection.
- Earlier polls had approval around 20%.
No surveys indicate "half the country" sees J6 participants as heroes. That claim doesn't match the data—support is a clear minority overall and heavily partisan.
@johnrockshomes First, the split is way off. It’s more like 80/20.
The 80% don’t want to see you hanged, they just want to see you held accountable for your crimes.
