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.
This is a classic rerun. Leftists, buy and register firearms for defense now, because it certainly will not be bloodless.
ETA: don’t just buy a firearm. Buy a bunch of small paper plates and a shit ton of cheap ammo. Use the paper plates as target and practice at a range every day. If you don’t know how to handle a firearm, take a firearm safety course. They’re generally pretty affordable.
