It makes no sense

to say that impeaching the pRes will just increase violence, and therefore we should let it go. It seems to me that the intent of the attempted coup was to keep Trump in power. That's not going to go away.

that impeaching him again would make his supporters VERY ANGRY and that would make them act out even more. I don't think that's possible. We still have to do the right thing.

I agree with you.

Just saying something like this is an attempt to bully and threaten and to send a message to the violent rouges that they are to do violence if the bullying fails to work.

i say code, but it's pretty clear. he's saying that if he's impeached, his followers will become more violent.

he's introducing the idea of violence, presenting it to his followers, placing certain conditions on it, and doing absolutely nothing to discourage it.

that's a mob leader requests violence without overtly requesting violence.
