Actual quote (video included in link):

“I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” he threatened. “Because listen here, sweetheart: We’re not messing around this time, and we will put your fat a-- in prison for conspiracy against rights, and I promise you that.”

Welcome to the new regime.

      It has been in full swing since his first term. There was an interview with Biden where he referenced more of this hate. Something along the lines of “these people hid in the woods, but once Trump came into power they realized they had friends in high places. They came out of those woods with hoods on”. Gonna see if I could find the video.

      Edit

      I was a little off on the quote. They wore hoods to hide themselves. But under a Trump presidency, these people didn’t need the hoods anymore.

    If they throw out the rule of law like this there’s no reason why anyone should follow the law at all. If Trump and his allies don’t have to follow the law why should anyone else?

    If the only thing that motivates these people is violence that’s what they’ll get.

    If being captured means a death sentence then there’s no reason to peacefully surrender. In fact, it is your human right to fight for your life in self defense.

    If you make peaceful revolution impossible you make violent revolution inevitable. The billionaires should remember that all their wealth is built upon the trust the world has in the US’s stability. If that goes away then so does the majority of their wealth.

      People have children. They need to be fed and have healthcare. You don’t get either without a job.

      This is how terror works.

    Let’s see how all the welfare states fare when blue states stop paying federal taxes and start building up their own military.

    Its time to become unruly before he gets sworn in. It is time to become ungovernable. This isn’t like 2016. Its just death threats and absolute power.
