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.

    We will let the record show how clever you were compared to the undecided voters as you all go in the same burning pit.

    Since you correctly dont care who the democrat candidate is, could we perhaps pic a candidate that will survive the term? Orb are you going to change the centrists minds by being very smug on the internet? We all know how effective that is.

      Well, much as I am reluctant to put on the jackboots, I suppose I’ll have to do so when your prediction comes true. No hard feelings when we get to your place in line?
