The group’s president, Kevin D. Roberts, made the comments in an interview on “The War Room,” the Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon’s show on the network Real America’s Voice.

Mr. Roberts was discussing the Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday that presidents have substantial immunity from prosecution for what they do in office, a ruling that upended the criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and that removes a potential barrier to the most radical elements of his second-term agenda if he is elected again.

“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,” Mr. Roberts said, alluding to Mr. Bannon’s imprisonment.

He went on to say that “the radical left” was “apoplectic” because “our side is winning” and said, “And so I come full circle in this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

    Russia would like to have a word, China too. Socialism is great. But not all socialism is created equal.

      I’m gonna make a dictatorship, have fake elections and then point out how some democracies are not created equal.

      See the problem?

      China and Russia don’t have collective ownership over the means of production. They’re not socialist. It’s like the main thing.

      of course its not perfect. the point is stepping up.

      china and russia saw the biggest improvements in quality of life in recorded history in their respective socialist eras.

      if you keep rejecting the solution, surprise, you won’t get it.

        I never said they didn’t. Marxist Leninism like capitalism helped everyone industrialize. It didn’t and will never help them achieve communism, much less stay socialist. It’s as flawed as capitalism.
