They swaggered around trying to intimidate normal people with the implication of violence, right-wing violence ahead down the road if the right doesn't get what it wants, and decides to take over without the messiness of holding elections, especially clean elections.

Very peculiar no one in any of a truly mouthy anti-left MSM didn't utter a peep regarding this blatant dirty threat being laid down by these sociopathic scums.
