"Since the elections are rigged, and therefore delegitimate....political power no longer lies in those who can gain it by vote........it lies in those who can take it by force."

Trump politicized Covid at his 3/28/20 "hoax" rally. From that point on, every position the Right has taken on Covid...from masks to vaccines...is in political opposition to their "enemies".

Eradicating Covid through vaccination is not only a political victory for Biden...1/

While aggregating threads/articles for a book project, I came across a 9/30/19 thread responding to Trump retweeting "pastor" @robertjeffress stating there would be "civil war like fracture" if Trump was held accountable for high crimes & misdemeanors. 1/vox.com/policy-and-pol…
The thread pointed out that Trump had made cryptic insinuations about "civil war" six months earlier in a March interview with Breitbart....2/
The relevant Trump quote:

"I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of Bikers for Trump. I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough...until they go to a certain point, & then it would be very bad, very bad". 3/
