"People are so angry at what is taking place," Mr. Trump told Fox News.

“People are so angry at what is taking place,” Mr. Trump told Fox News. “Whatever we can do to help because the temperature has to be brought down in the country. If it isn’t, terrible things are going to happen.”

The motherfucker is setting the stage for what he wants.

7. From the same piece...

This week, one of Mr. Trump’s closest allies, Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, issued a similar warning that Mr. Trump quickly reposted on his social media platform. Mr. Graham, in a Fox News appearance on Sunday, predicted that if the search of Mar-a-Lago led to a prosecution of the former president, there would be “riots in the streets.”

The assessments by both men were worded carefully enough that they could be defended as efforts to spare the nation unnecessary strife, and on Monday, Mr. Graham tried to walk back his remarks, saying, “I reject violence.”

But the statements could also be perceived as fanning the same flames of outrage they claimed to be trying to avert. They carried a distinct echo of Mr. Trump’s calls after the 2020 election to do what was needed to keep him in office, signals that contributed to the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the Capitol soon after he urged his supporters to “fight like hell.”

He's having a rally 9/3 in penn for OZ. That should give us a "temperature" on were things are headed.

The crowd size and the polls on Penn a few days later. If the crowd size is small and OZ doesn't gain any ground we are good to go.

You just want people to be angry. You want another 1/6. You want another bunch of red-hatted knuckledragging cousinfuckers to show you how stupid and violent they, and by extension you, really are.

capture and imprison (or kill) his enemies and carry him on their shoulders to the White House, where he'll be installed as dictator for life (which is the sort of thing I imagine him imagining). When the indictment comes down, there might be some gatherings of MAGAts here and there, and they'll wave their giant flags and wait for Q to appear on a white horse, but after they blow off some steam for a few hours, what are they gonna do? They'll go back to their sad little lives and post angry things in all caps on nutjob internet sites.

10. I'm still trying to figure out how all this pro-Trump anger will boil over here in Florida.

Maybe old farts in The Villages will take up their AR-15s, man the barricades and toss molotov cocktails at the cops. Perhaps racists will don hooded robes and torch their local Whole Foods in the middle of the night. I don't know, it should be interesting.
