Actual quote (video included in link):

“I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” he threatened. “Because listen here, sweetheart: We’re not messing around this time, and we will put your fat a-- in prison for conspiracy against rights, and I promise you that.”

Welcome to the new regime.

    If they throw out the rule of law like this there’s no reason why anyone should follow the law at all. If Trump and his allies don’t have to follow the law why should anyone else?

    If the only thing that motivates these people is violence that’s what they’ll get.

    If being captured means a death sentence then there’s no reason to peacefully surrender. In fact, it is your human right to fight for your life in self defense.

    If you make peaceful revolution impossible you make violent revolution inevitable. The billionaires should remember that all their wealth is built upon the trust the world has in the US’s stability. If that goes away then so does the majority of their wealth.

      People have children. They need to be fed and have healthcare. You don’t get either without a job.

      This is how terror works.

      Yeah good luck with that. There is a reason that the communists/socialists were among the first that the Nazis murdered.

      I would recommend learning about fascism, and how it is able to sustain itself (in the short term, at least).

      Talk like this in public in a year or two will likely get you disappeared
