Trump supporter warns CNN reporter of 'civil war' if former president not reinstated 'soon'

BY DOMINICK MASTRANGELO - 06/29/21 09:56 AM EDT

CNN reporter Donie O'Sullivan spoke with several supporters of former President Trump ahead of his first post-presidential rally on Saturday, many of whom told him they fully expect the real estate mogul to be reinstated before the end of the summer and warned of potential political violence in America if he is not.

"He didn't lose, I know he didn't lose," one woman told O'Sullivan, indicating she believes unfounded claims made by Trump and other Republicans that widespread voter fraud led to an unfair election that swung in President Biden's favor.

Many of the supporters who gathered for the Saturday rally in Wellington, Ohio, wore memorabilia and carried signs with slogans like "Trump won" and "Biden sucks" displayed across them.

"It's about all of them, and 2020 and the next one," another woman told O'Sullivan about her "Trump won" T-shirt.

No higher cognitive faculties. No ability to think things through. No appreciable problem-solving skills.

To have a life that is, as Stephen King once described it, "simply a moment-by-moment flow of sensory input."

And the anger, so... free floating, based on imaginary grievances... it must be hard to live in a body bristling with hate.

Tip one way and they become bored with all of the non-productive, redundant rhetoric and start peeling off.

Tip the other way and they lose patience and just decide it's a fine day to commit sedition, again.

for the past six months just like they spent all that time legitimizing Trump as a candidate with all their "outrage coverage" in 2016. It is disgusting.

This time there will be armed resistance.

That shot you got away with on 1/6 won’t be allowed a second time.

Y’all will be gunned down.

I think 1/6 was like Pearl Harbor, 9/11 maybe in writing somewhere and reaching who matters too late or ignored for whatever reason, not believed and/or not expected, really. But no matter, you are 100% correct. No soft-pedalling this time. Full tilt boogie this time in dealing with the RW individuals committing open and apparent treason against our still developing democracy. And the leader's pinpointed and dealt with properly this time. Immediately!!!

Tragically, but thoroughly Brainwashed, greatly aided by the media to this day.

The problem will be solved once our country's people decide that following Cult leaders is a danger to us all, but especially to them, and then take steps to have a real hard look at the meaning of free speech, justice for all, separation of church and state, and the true meaning of "well governed militia" wrt 2 A.

What does it say when a significant segment of the population, enabled by the media, would accept under any circumstances Huckster? Traitor a pathological liar as their leader? Religious fanatics have since the beginning of time.
