i don't know that this exercise will produce much useful discussion, but i'd guess 3%, 20%, 67%, and 10%, respectively. I think the problem with your categories is the wide variance in and gradations of belief. like, i don't think it's controversial to say that a very small proportion of americans are self-identified neonazis or white nationalists. but how many support the state enacting violence on the undesirables of society, especially the homeless, addicts, and criminals? how many support the US military without even really understanding what it does or why? and for antifascists, sure maybe we'd break the law to fight fascism, but how many would take up arms? and maybe if we live in a blue state we would help someone from a red state get an abortion, but how many would physically fight ICE agents trying to kidnap people?
but how many support the state enacting violence on the undesirables of society, especially the homeless, addicts, and criminals?
I wish this was an actual survey question. I fantasize that even asking this question would immediately cause most people to get a "deer in headlights" look on their face and struggle to answer because the implications are so horrific. Maybe just asking the question would be enough to convince people that there is, here and now, a non-zero number of our population who would actually respond in the affirmative to that question...or maybe that's just wishful thinking.
