Christ Almighty: to what awful depths have we fallen so quickly?

Most voters believe violence against MPs 'is price worth paying' over Brexit theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/o…
Shocking but remember this is hardly isolated finding: I recall research from Edinburgh a while ago suggesting over 80% of English Leave voters thought breakdown in NI peace process was "price worth paying for Brexit" - & figure was even higher as regards Scottish independence?
Many people talking about methodologies etc used in such studies. Legitimate scientific queries... But for me, such work highlights important question: for how long can population live through such poisonous politics and not be affected in terms of values, attitudes, cohesion?
In that regard: might not believe / want to believe X people would engage in / condone actual political violence; but should still worry about what such studies suggest about more diffuse yet still damaging impacts of Brexit experience on our social / citizen attitudes?
