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.”

    The same way that the Ukraine war could be bloodless if Ukrainians allowed it to be? Absurd 🙄

      What a moronic comparison. No, it’s more like how the Maidan revolution that ushered in the USA’s chosen president and made the Right Sector and other far-right groups ascendant was (mostly bloodless) when they stormed the capital with guns and forced the sitting administration to flee into exile.

        And when some people protested the coup, they burned them alive in Odessa. THIS is the correct comparison with what’s in the OP.

      Ironically I think they would take Russia’s side here too. They think might is right.

      There is no winning cause they will only shut up if they are beaten by violence, something that their opposition doesn’t want to resort to.
