The group’s president, Kevin D. Roberts, made the comments in an interview on “The War Room,” the Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon’s show on the network Real America’s Voice.
Mr. Roberts was discussing the Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday that presidents have substantial immunity from prosecution for what they do in office, a ruling that upended the criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and that removes a potential barrier to the most radical elements of his second-term agenda if he is elected again.
“We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday, and in spite of all of the injustice — which of course friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve, know — we are going to prevail,” Mr. Roberts said, alluding to Mr. Bannon’s imprisonment.
He went on to say that “the radical left” was “apoplectic” because “our side is winning” and said, “And so I come full circle in this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
This is a seditious threat that justifies preemptively striking in self-defense.
It’s a cold calculus but letting them kill someone first means the army has the moral and narrative high ground when the Army Rangers black bag these guys at 3 in the morning.
Yes I agree. Actions should always weigh more than words. We need them to put those words into action before it’s justified to act back.
So maybe we should be like: “bring it on”? Idk that’s probably not a good idea either.
We’re fast approaching the point at which there are no more bad ideas. But yeah for now, it’s best to try and prevent any major incident while not letting the authoritarians win. Countries do not come out the same way when either of those things happens. And the chance that it’s a change for the better is remote.
When it starts, they’re the ones who will be giving the Army Rangers the orders.
Eh, not exactly. That would be telegraphed literal years in advance as they would have to entirely rebuild the officer corps to be loyalists to them specifically. Right now the military leadership puts a lot of stock in the Constitution, so much so that the last time Trump tried to order them to go after BLM protestors, they not only refused the order, they then sent a memo to the entire force reminding them of the exact wording of their oath.
You’ve heard of Project 2025, right? Rebuilding the officer corps (and the entire rest of the government) to be loyalists is exactly what they’re planning to do.
Okay, and I’m telling you that’s not something you can do quickly. There’s a reason new dictators usually stand up a separate force.
That would lose the high ground in a very important way. Calmer minds may yet prevail, if we are fortunate.
Textbook thug mentality. “I’m gonna take your shit, if you do anything about it then you’re forcing me to get violent.”
Said every abusive spouse/partner ever
“Don’t make me hit you”
The same way that the Ukraine war could be bloodless if Ukrainians allowed it to be? Absurd 🙄
Ironically I think they would take Russia’s side here too. They think might is right.
There is no winning cause they will only shut up if they are beaten by violence, something that their opposition doesn’t want to resort to.
The goddamnedfascists will kill us all and the democrats only response will be to say “you should have voted harder!”.
Leftists fighting amongst themselves will contribute to the downfall of us all.
Democrats are not the left.
Lmao basically proving my point exactly.
And this is why they will win.
So, congrats on your purity test.
Not a purity test. Just a fact. Are democrats better than Republicans? Yes, that’s also a fact. But that does not change the correct definition of a political party. DEMOCRATS ARE NOT THE LEFT! Left of Republicans but very few actual left ideas make it to benefit the common person because democrats smother left ideas in the crib. Vote democrat (if living in deeply red states or swing states) but also protest unjust acts regardless of which party is currently in control. (even more so when it’s the party that you voted for.) I live in a deep blue state and vote green to try to pull the political spectrum left. I protest both sides for their crimes. I protest Biden for his direct support of genicide. I protest Trump for his many wrongs as well. We need to fight for the race to the top and not whomever clears the lowest bar possible.
Democrats will tell you they’re not leftists.
Ask Joe Biden if he is a leftist, what do you think he’d say? Nanci Pelosi? Chuck Schemer? Hilary Clinton? Barack Obama?
The Democratic Party is a big tent party. There is far left, center left, center, and center right. And of course the left-right spectrum is always going to be reductive. Joe Biden has been observed to track the center of the party as a whole over time, so he would be a center left politician.
The rest of the big tent won’t call themselves leftists either. They’ll say they’re “”“progressive”“” instead.
And if the progressives get too uppity then AIPAC or some other rightist faction will get rid of them.
How do I label my political ideas without someone calling other groups with the same label?
Playing with words doesn’t change the reality that my ideas are not what DNC believes.
Evil will win because they are willing to do evil and good won’t do evil?
I mean I guess yeah, that’s usually how evil prevails.
Why are you lying? It’s the appeasement-minded liberals that are fucking us all over.
It’s both. Appeasement never works. And ideology over solidarity leads to no accomplishments.
The revolution they want isnt going to happen even with copious amounts of blood sacrifice. But hey if you want to bleed out for the cause wecan accommodate
Headline should read, Heritage Foundation threatens bloodshed.
This is like reporting that a mob boss said it’d be terrible if something happened to your family.
YOU LOST THE FIRST TIME, JUST LIKE THE GERMANS, TAKE THE HINT
Narrator:it wasn’t
They at least demonstrate they know there’s only a threat against them from the left.
