Project 2025 Architect Signals Bloodshed If Left Opposes Trump-Led 'Revolution'
The "second American Revolution" now underway will "remain bloodless," said the president of the right-wing Heritage Foundation, "if the left allows it to be."
The president of the right-wing group spearheading Project 2025 raised the specter of violence Tuesday against those who refuse to capitulate to what he characterized as "the second American Revolution" ushered in by presumptive GOP nominee and would-be authoritarian Donald Trump.
Kevin Roberts, head of the Heritage Foundation, said in an appearance on "Real America's Voice" that the coming "revolution" will "remain bloodless if the left allows it to be"—a thinly veiled threat against those who resist the far-right's efforts to seize power.
Trump said in April that whether there is violence surrounding the 2024 presidential election "depends" on the "fairness" of the contest and the outcome.

"We are going to win. We're in the process of taking this country back," declared Roberts, who has said Project 2025 is "institutionalizing Trumpism" in preparation for a possible victory in November.
The thing that is upsetting about American fascism is not that it exists.
It's the fact that everyone is debating it like an argument about what kind of chairs you want at a wedding.
It's the same scenario that played out in 1930s Germany and the rise of Nazism ..... everyone kept arguing that it wouldn't happen, it's not like that, it isn't that bad, they have good points, we can control it, we won't let them go too far, everyone obeys the rule of law, we have morals ....
..... then we all had to literally break the entire world in order to fix the problem.
Scheppele's assessment echoed that of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, which warned in an analysis published late last year that "the entire project is devoted to aggrandizing executive power by centralizing authority in the presidency, and a key aspect of democratic backsliding is viewing opposition elements as attempting to destroy the 'real' community, an essential aspect to quashing dissent."
"Project 2025 paints progressives and liberals as outside acceptable politics, and not just ideological opponents, but inherently anti-American and 'replacing American values,'" the analysis said. "Targeting vulnerable communities is a core tenet of Project 2025. Project 2025 is very clearly on a path to Christian nationalism as well as authoritarianism."
For the love of everything we care for. Please vote this November.
“Let us kill the undesirables or we’ll kill you too”
The man should be hanged
"If you don't fight back, we'll let you live" For now. Make no mistake about scorpions though.
Not only are they in the process of openly subverting the Constitution of the United States, they are openly calling for violence. When declared powerful adversaries call for violence publicly, every option is on the table. Collective self defense may be necessary, and they may yet regret it.
This country is so fucked. Much of the culture is checked out; a lot of the left/liberal movement seem to be up its own asshole in goofy pandering that seems designed to only churn out more donnie voters, and the cons are making plans, and basically announcing them to everyone.
Also, I'll vote Biden no matter what this fall, but the Democratic Party had better seriously consider removing him and selecting someone else. Otherwise, Biden's chief legacy that is actually remembered will be helping to enable the dismantling of this country by being so egotistical as to think he's the only one that could beat donnie in 2024.
Dear President Biden, you have sworn an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. SCOTUS has given you cover to do almost literally anything you need to do to fulfill that oath. This is what a domestic enemy looks and sounds like. In fact, this is a target rich environment, Mr. President. Please, get off your ass and get to work.
Kevin Roberts is a piss baby fascist who should get fucked along with his entire party.
This is a classic rerun. Leftists, buy and register firearms for defense now, because it certainly will not be bloodless.
Again, keep this in mind when you see people urging you to not vote against Trump. Also note how you almost never see any of them in the comment sections of stories critical of Trump. The few that do show up usually only try and whatabout it into being about how Biden is bad.
Put money and effort towards the cause https://defeatproject2025.org/
I'm ready to hear what the Joint Chiefs of the US military have to say about this. They stepped in to lend some clarity a couple of times in 2020 when bullshit was getting too flagrantly unconstitutional, to remind everyone of the military's oath to uphold the Constitution regardless of who is in command (they also officially stated that Biden was commander in chief in Jan. 2021)
Trump is just the side show to this. He’ll be playing golf and making terrible speeches while this architecture goes up around him. It’ll be SCOTUS 2.0 on a larger, more inclusive scale.
Instead of the meandering disorganized crap of 2016-2020, with most executive office jobs left unfilled, it’ll be project 2025.
The choice here rests with the under 40 crowd. Vote for or against it.
My teenage fantasies of armed rebellion are finally coming true!
Was it thinly veiled? Where is the veil?
That is some abusive spouse language right there. "If you would just behave I wouldn't have to hit you." Type shit
We all hope it doesn't come to that, but please arm yourselves and train with your weapons. Get a cheap AR in 5.56/.223, and a pistol in 9mm. These are very common calibers. At least as important as that, make sure you know some people you can trust in your community. Do it now while you can. Guns and ammo will get more expensive as we get closer to the election.
His will be first.
It's a good thing we have a President who understands that if he DOESN'T grow a Spine his entire Family will be Executed by the King Of The United States!
They've been doing bloodshed at least since Jan 6.
One thing to keep in mind is if these chucklefucks torch the economy then the capital class will hang them out to dry. One big strike would end every single one of their ambitions. Arming yourselves won't do it, you gotta organize.
You can't pay soldiers and police when you have no tax revenue.
Just a average human being. Base humanity. This is who we are.
Adding extra steps to the jungle does not make us civilized.
People should organize and vote...but you should also be arming yourself now if you don't have a plan to leave the U.S. These assholes want a war, but they will be content with a slaughter if nobody fights back.
Sounds like the Ernst Röhm of the SA but MAGA style
Bring it, asshole. There are a lot more people who oppose you than support you.
We just need a good excuse to clap all the servatives.
Bring it, christofascist servative trash.
I see the competition to be first against the wall is heating up.
So he is the real life sister sage, huh?
Bring it bitch
Call me naive if you like but that doesn't seem like a direct threat to me. It sounds like him playing into the violent antifa caricature of a leftist they're always going on about. He's saying they're going to win peacably but are prepared to defend their liberties if the evil leftists force them to. At least I think that's how most of the people he's trying to reach with those comments would interpret them.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think guys like him have any problem with using violence as a means to achieve their goals, and this is very likely part of the plan to plant the seeds of violence in people's minds. I just don't think this is him being so blunt as to state that they want to execute political opponents outright. I could certainly be wrong about that but I don't think that will happen until they're already doing it.
