7) That the time has come for armed revolution.

You know those people who seem to buy more guns than they could possibly need? Well, it seems they’re stockpiling: Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind last year had some 29 percent of poll respondents saying that a bloody fight against the U.S. government “isn’t just imminent but imperative.” That’ll be fun.

That 1/3 of the electorate, those tens of millions of voters, are not going anywhere. No matter what, they will vocally remain, waiting for voters from the Left to become complacent, to not be vigilant, to start their infighting and dividing into factions. Then they will continue to do what the GOP did over the years while the Left slept--showing up to vote in the smallest of elections, winning local and state races, putting conservatives on state courts. They really don't care if you think they are stupid or ignorant or how you disparage them because they will keep coming.
Tribalism has come to America and you're either on one side or the other and it will be a war that's never won for whichever side gloats and is convinced it has won without continuing to fight like it has not. Be on guard, be vigilant, VOTE!

they support him.

They want to gut science and push god on everyone...At its heart is religiousness.

These people have much the same mindset as groups like the islamic state or the taliban...Science, education and personal freedom is the last thing they want as that goes against their central belief system that religion and the elite should rule.
