Project 2025 Architect Signals Bloodshed If Left Opposes Trump-Led 'Revolution'
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.
And where...
THE FUCK...
Is the FBI?
If that's not a terroristic threat, then what is?
There is no criminal designation for domestic terrorists.
I wish that I was joking.
They're literally unable to act because domestic terrorist isn't codified into law.
I wonder if that has anything to do with half of Congress counting on their support......
FTFY.
There's not one at all because it's a violation of freedom of association in the 1st amendment.
Doesn’t stop the powers that be from specifically targeting anti fascists
And there's one for liberal terrorists? Please, tell me where that's in the legal code.
Edit
Holy down votes Batman!
The point is that there's no domestic terrorist designation - left or right!

It's anyone they suspect, like, say, Quakers, or maybe vegan potluck groups. Timothy Leary and John Lennon.
Terroristic threats is a real crime.
But Freedom of Speech? Good luck with this supreme court.
The FBI is never going to save you from rightwing violence.
You get a little reprise during their coffee breaks though.
It only applies to non-xtians, brown people, and liberals.
This is well within the bounds of the 1st amendment. You're allowed to call for a revolution, that's kinda the whole point.
