A segment of the population threatened to start a civil war if he was impeached and removed

For the man who says "I don't accept responsibility at all". For the man who says "Nobody knew a pandemic was coming" despite everyone said it was coming.

This is the man they thought it would be OK to murder their fellow Americans over.

This, this man, was the line that they were prepared to die for, really?

Really?

On the other hand, we have seen escalating RWNJ violence.

So....I dunno, maybe there are the keyboard warriors, but a few of the young and hot-headed might be more inclined to violence.

That is why I have home protection firearms. Truly.
