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.

    I finally understand what ‘make America great again’ means. The America they are trying to return us to is the one where we had a king.

    The Heritage Foundation is a terrorist organization and an existential threat to the United States that must be destroyed.

        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.

    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.

    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.”

    They’re Christofascist Nazis. They need to be dissolved. Either in an alkaline or acidic solution, whichever is cheapest.
