The president of the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank that has developed a prominent series of policy plans to overhaul the federal government under a Republican president, said on Tuesday that the country was “in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

Sit back, relax and just let us destroy your democracy. Resistance is futile.

What an arrogant ass.

And..as if it is the left that threatens violence. What bullshit.

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.

In response to a request for comment, Mr. Roberts said that the “revolution” would be “to take power back from the elites and despotic bureaucrats” and added: “These patriots are committed to peaceful revolution at the ballot box. Unfortunately, it’s the Left that has a long history of violence, so it’s up to them to allow a peaceful transfer of power.”

WTF?

The article goes on to point out the many times that Trump and his surrogates have talked about using violence to pursue their ends:
