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.

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."

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!".

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

I know Democrats are stuck with a shit candidate right now that supports an apartheid state currently committing genocide. And I know they're fully exploiting the fact that their opponent is Mussolini 2.0.

I know they're very critical of the current candidate, but what would they rather have? A psychopath extreme right dictator in charge of the world largest surveillance agencies, military force and nuclear arsenal, as well as one of the world's leading economy and biggest influence on the planet? Or a relatively sensible paraissent whose only flaw right now is supporting one wrong nation and whose position can potentially be changed on the matter?

The Convention hasn't happened yet. He can still be replaced. We aren't stuck!

They at least demonstrate they know there's only a threat against them from the left.
