Trump: Now, If I don't get elected, it's gonna be a bloodbath. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country.

If he does not win this election. This election cycle started earlier than at any other time so he could delay his accountability for his last call to arms and this gives him plenty of time to rally support for violence. If this isn’t the definition of insurrection, I don’t know what is..”an insurrection is an armed rebellion.” https://www.findlaw.com > criminal. The SC just said it was ok for him to be on the presidential ballots and the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply..let the voters decide. America had better know what this election is about as he’s saying it loud n clear.

Since OKC, hundreds of church/militias have popped up in OK alone. They keep the Turner Diary right next to their bible. The border with MO/AR is a giant survivalist compound.

122. "The Turner Diaries"
Sat Mar 16, 2024, 07:46 PM
Mar 16
The Turner Diaries is a 1978 fiction novel by William Luther Pierce, a neo-Nazi and the founder and chairman of National Alliance, a white nationalist group, published under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald. It depicts a violent revolution in the United States which leads to the overthrow of the federal government, a nuclear war, and ultimately a race war which leads to the systematic extermination of non-whites and Jews. All groups opposed by the novel's protagonist, Earl Turner—including Jews, non-white people, "liberal actors," and politicians—are murdered en masse.

The Turner Diaries was described as being "explicitly racist and anti-Semitic" by The New York Times and has been labeled the "bible of the racist right" by the FBI.[1][2] The book was greatly influential in shaping white nationalism and the later development of the white genocide conspiracy theory. It has also inspired numerous hate crimes and acts of terrorism, including the 1984 assassination of Alan Berg, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and the 1999 London nail bombings. It is estimated to have influenced perpetrators in over 200 killings.

MAGA goons hear "bloodbath" and gleefully fantasize about slaughtering liberals in the streets. Trump will claim he was only talking about a coming political or economic "bloodbath" if not elected. Trump is a master of veiled violent threats.

Trump is awful. But his comment about there being a bloodbath was in the context of what would happen to the economy if he isn't re-elected.

The folks that write his material know the law and are clever enough to cover his ass. The laws regarding terrorism are very specific when it comes to threats and limited to very narrow circumstances. See https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?edition=prelim&path=%2Fprelim%40title18%2Fpart1%2Fchapter113B

Donald Trump, who was impeached for inciting his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn his 2020 electoral loss, warned on Saturday that there will be a “bloodbath” for the auto industry if he doesn’t win the election this November.

Context, even for this orange POS, is important. He was talking about what he thinks would happen to the auto industry if he doesn't get elected, not cutting down Democrats or other citizens in the streets in a "bloodbath."

But the media seems so intent at jacking up outrage and anxiety, the short clip is about all you hear, and when quoted, it comes out like, "a bloodbath for the country" with little context.

He's got deniability. First reporter to ask him or an associate about that comment is likely to get blasted and ridiculed for always jumping to conclusions and taking things out of context. Kind of a trap.

Or the economy tanking with the stock market wiping out trillions of dollars of our wealth a "bloodbath"?

Or the tens of millions of people losing their jobs during his last term a "bloodbath"?

Or is he dreaming of the blood coming from "her wherever" as a "bloodbath"?

But there were a far greater percentage of uneducated, unaware people who were living within the Plantation economic zone who would just do what "their betters" told them was right and go along with the Gentlemen to war to protect slavery.
Im not saying there won't be violence, there's just not enough sustainment for it once it starts to shows up on the evening news. Bringing the violence "home" to people who don't really care about that particular cause is what will stop it.
The only long term problem I see are those 2nd Amendment snowflakes wanting to make it all about them.

I wonder if there's enough of his brain still functioning to realize that he could wind up being closer to any violence that he incites than he thinks. A lot closer.

Remember, Caligula wasn't taken out by some random citizen. It was his own Praetorian Guard.

They would be a hero in relation to the atrocities Hitler committed later, but if he had been removed from the scene before he had a chance to commit those atrocities, he'd be noted as just another insurgent with a big mouth. He might even have wound up as the hero, someone committed to saving Germany who was thwarted before his plans to defend his country could be achieved.

It's just as well that time travel isn't a reality.

You coward. You think we’re afraid of you and your stupid band of losers and miscreants? Really?

If so, you’re even dumber than I imagined and that’s saying something.

Your premise is that we should fear that when President Biden is reelected, the country will erupt in violence. That’s a winning electoral pitch you’ve got there. Let’s watch you crash and burn.

Loser.

The thing about Trump is that he truly has been a person of 'firsts.'

Or perhaps 'worsts.'

Yes, that's better. Worsts.

Never have we had a candidate threaten violence if not elected. A Democrat would never do that. And most of the Republicans who have had odious neoliberal policies but have left Congress would never do that. For example I cannot imagine either Bush doing that. Oh, they were both odious as presidents, but they would never threaten violence if not elected.

I'm watching MSNBC this morning and Velshi hasn't mentioned it yet. Only shareholder primacy is preventing our corporate media from piling on and focusing on this. Of course Sinclair Media and Fox won't mention it. And AM right-wing talk radio just serves to get the word out.

Not even the Guardian is mentioning it, and they are not beholden to shareholder profits.

Could it be that Trump says so much crazy stuff that we've all become deaf to it except the few hundred thousand on here?

Sigh.

Well, let's get out the vote. If we can utterly smash Trumpy and downticket GOP at the polls this November, the entire world will be better off - and I'm talking about humans and all other life. We've got to get these people out of power.
