But, survey says,

"According to the report, respondents were divided over what
constitutes a legitimate expression of First Amendment rights, with
Republicans more likely to say that "taking part in protests against
certifying the 2020 election results" (73 percent) and "entering the
U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to disrupt the election certification"
(33 percent) were legitimate than Independents (60 percent and 23
percent) and Democrats (39 percent and 12 percent)."
