KEVIN ROBERTS (HERITAGE FOUNDATION PRESIDENT): In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We’re in the process of taking this country back. No one in the audience should be despairing.
No one should be discouraged. We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday. And in spite of all of the injustice, which, of course, friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve know, we are going to prevail.
Number two, to the point of the clips and, of course, your preview of the fact that I am an early American historian and love the Constitution. That Supreme Court ruling yesterday on immunity is vital, and it’s vital for a lot of reasons. But I would go to Federalist No. 70.
So they’re openly admitting to a coup attempt.
you guys are going to have to vote like your lives depends on it, coz it probably does. at what point does this become civil war? it feels like you guys are in a death spiral, and the only way out of it is to literally take out the other side. honestly if the rest of the world has to come over there and bash your heads together we’ll be properly pissed good luck We’re all going to need Trump to lose signed, The World
Please send help. Please. Help us rest of world, you’re our only hope.
Yeah right.
The only super power in the world “in need of external help.”
We dug ourselves into this hellhole, we must get ourselves out of it
Yeah no. No one is going to intervene on your private continent where there’s three guns per person. And unless those countries fancy getting friendlier with China, they’ll just hold their noses when they deal with Trump. Like they did 2016 to 2020.
You’ve got the means already; get your guns, beans, and gasoline. And if you care about American democracy, and these chuckle-fucks try to kill it, then you’re going to have to fight for it
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, but good luck.
The more infighting the US has, the less resources they have to bomb brown people. So go at it!
They allowed their governments to get away with way too much shit, time to pay up.
That is a likeable conclusion for us non-western people, but eventually these white christian nationalist supremacists will openly wage crusade instead of still pretending not doing it. Breather from American bombs and militant group funding would definitely be welcome, but gotta make the best with that time before their focus turns outwards once again. If it comes to that in the first place, of course.
Yeah, you kinda gotta think about it…if the US falls, it won’t fail and die, it will become evil. What side do you want them to be on in this next big war brewing? The world wars with the US on the other side seems rough for every good and decent person. Hell, Ukraine would be in a bad spot if the US was actively fighting along side the orks…well, Ukraine would be West-russia already, and that isn’t even intending to speak ill of the Ukrainian heroes, it is just a shitty hypothetical reality. The US a big greedy resource vacuum that lets their corporations push them to meddle in world affairs, but they are also the insane PTSD soldier turned cop of the classroom keeping the other bully kids in line. It is a weird place to be, but the US feels like a floodgate that is tolerated, because without it, we have real bad things in the waters it holds back. So frustrating.
I’m not holding my breath for a change in the hegemony over the world towards Russia or China to be any better. I’m not pretending that an 80 year U.S. imperialism has been anything tolerable, either. This is unlike the Biden vs Trump situation, too. When the alluded damage reduction has been the primary damage creation source with such an intensity to create whole regions and families of militant and/or terrorist organizations directly and uncontrollably terrorizing common people, one might wonder if a monolithical state apparatus can be tried as an option for the common folk than a democracy for the privileged.
In before “tankie” screamed at me, check the start of the paragraph again. All I’m saying is that the PTSD soldier turned cop in your analogue may be keeping the other bullies in line, but is also leading to the creation of more bullies all the while doing the bullying themselves. It is not a floodgate, either. It is another obstacle in the lava of evil that causes the lava to flow from a different channel, not leading to any more further than the other channels while putting a blockade on them.
it will become evil.
So nothing will fundamentally change?
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
“We’ve tried nothing all we’re all out of ideas!”
We’ll get “help” after we lose WWIII and West America is controlled by China and East America is controlled by the EU.
And instead of gracefully resigning due to his obvious mental decline and nominating someone else at the convention, Biden has decided he’ll take us all down with him.
We heard this bullshit when Joe Biden ran in 2020. Yet Biden has done a remarkable job. Both Republicans and Democrats prefer his policies.
And he proved himself capable in 2020. At this age that assumption does not carry forward and the debate performance in 2024 is disqualifying in many people’s eyes.
He’s no longer the best chance to beat Trump.
He was literally four years younger in 2020.
We all saw the debate. 🙄
We saw Biden is still old.
Trump is still a threat.
Nothing has changed.
Of course not, not with reductionist logic like that. If you watch his 2020 debate and 2024 debate the difference is very clear. Day and Night.
Poll numbers have changed, 3/4 of voters say Biden is too old for the job.
Yeah, and we defeated Medicare.
People aren’t going to vote for this. The country is fucked if they don’t replace him at the Convention.
There are a ton of fucking fascists in this country.
They’re Christofascist Nazis. They need to be dissolved. Either in an alkaline or acidic solution, whichever is cheapest.
Nationalist Christians…Nat-Cs, if you will.
So that’s what they were talking about in inglorious bastards, I always thought they were pronouncing Nazis strangely. (/s in case that’s not obvious)
god I hate conservatives. These people are pure evil
He’s not wrong.
Subby should have included the whole quote that Media Matters truncated.
“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
Translation, let us turn this country into the Republic of Gilead or we will kill you.
This is the same logic Nazis used. The narrative was that Jews forced their hand by refusing to comply with their demands.
Make no mistake, this is a promise of bloodshed. They just want to sound like they want peace and that they’ll have to kill to get it.
Kill them first.
The Heritage Foundation is a terrorist organization and an existential threat to the United States that must be destroyed.
Agreed. I wish Biden would announce they are all being arrested and tried for treason. Same for the cons on the “supreme” court.
In Guantanamo
There are fire worse blacksites than Gitmo, cant name any of em cause they are blacksites.
I think it’s time we recognized the threat to democracy that think tanks and political non profits pose.
there is a limit at what can be done about their activities until we stop commingling personal rights/freedoms with that of a “legal” person
It would require an act of congress and it won’t happen.
They are people when they shill for their owners but they are legal entity when tax man comes.
Robert Evans did a two parter of Behind the Bastards on this exact topic. I think they were titled, How Conservatism Won
Yupp, love that pod cast.

These people are terrorists
I’d say that’s slightly off. Most terrorists have no intention of actually ruling the regions they terrorize.
These people are more fascists.
Fair
Non-state actors who use violence or the threat of violence to achieve political aims.
Yup, checks all the boxes.
People like the Heritage Foundation represent the Tories, though.
Conservatives have always been the bad guys.
Sooo close…
It isn’t the 2nd US CivilWar,
rather, it is the US Civil War Part2.
Not the US Revolution at all,
rather the Confederates revolution, within the US ( a “reverse takeover”, since they never really surrendered, in the previous half of the US’s Civil War, back before the 1900’s )
“Damn maybe somebody should do something about this” — biden, current emperor of the USA (according to the SCOTUS)
Not yet, I figure it will take at least another year, year and a half, tops.
Look at his words a little deeper, and you’ll pick up the thinly veiled message. He’s not saying anything that a rapist has not said to a victim before, during, and after the act. What he said was “as bloodless as the left will allow”.Said another way, “Don’t resist our brazen coup attempt and you will not be harmed. Everything is going to be okay. Don’t resist, don’t struggle, don’t fight. Just let it happen. You want this, I can tell.”
…in the process of taking this country backWARDS.
I despair. Fuck him and all of them.
At some point in time people are going to be killed.
It’s not as if the right wing goons haven’t been killing the decent people already.
Are going to, you say?
Already happened, friend.
Or did you forget what a shitshow Trump’s first term was?
People literally died because of him.
This would be more widespread and far worse.
Conservatives have poisoned the soapbox with propaganda and outright lies.
They’ve diluted the ballot box with electoral politics and various tactics of disenfranchisement.
They’ve completely corrupted the jury box with unqualified ideologues.
How does America survive this without resorting to the last box? All because a group of assholes who have more than they could ever need want even more than that.
Like, you gotta think outside the box…maaaan. 🚬
Outside the main boxes is the claymore box.
We are down to the cartridge box.
Lists, camps, public execution, rival assassinations, and firing squads, haven’t even started.
People literally died because of him.
More to come, many more.
We are in the process of becoming a shit-hole nation.
