Yes. They've said it even more blatantly.
“And so I come full circle on 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.”
These people do not believe in America as it exists or the promise of what it could be. They hate us and they want to destroy what we have to create something fundamentally different.

- darkwater 1y ago> Political violence against disagreeable people is disturbing and I wish you would condemn it. If the end game of those disagreeable people is to literally ruin one's life, violence as an answer is understandable.

- jeffbee 1y agoName any act of violence that has been committed by a "left" person this "political season," whatever time frame that encompasses.
- dwoldrich 1y agoAre you in the states? ICE protests that get violent. Burning Tesla dealerships. Assassinations. The list is long and growing.
- jeffbee 1y agoJust write one down. Any particular place and date.

"All the extremist-related murders in 2024 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, with eight of the 13 killings involving white supremacists and the remaining five having connections to far-right anti-government extremists. This is the third year in a row that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings."

- Matticus_Rex 1y agoHuh? I think it's hard to make a case that the left is meaningfully more violent, even weighing in stuff like riots/arson/looting (and it's not actually fair to pin all that on the left, when we know so much is opportunistic and only loosely ideology-driven). But you can't name an act of violence committed by someone on the left recently? Not one?
- rjbwork 1y ago>I don't know who this person is Pretty much the most important person behind what is going on in this country right now from an ideological and policy prescription perspective as it relates to the executive.
- dwoldrich 1y agoHe sounds like a policy nerd who helps write EO's. I think Trump himself and his military advisors have more impact.
- BLKNSLVR 1y agoSaying "bloodless" is telling. Psychological violence is being committed and they're calling out physical violence. It's a fantastic method of argument. But only a sociopath would use it.
