    the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

    That sounds a lot like a rapist threatening his victim to “just be quiet and take it”.

      It’s especially obvious in that the sentence could have just stopped at “will remain bloodless”. We’ll win through ideas and voting and law is enough of a statement. If someone else introduces violence then it’s of course not bloodless. “My political movement will be bloodless unless someone commits violence against us” isn’t a thing you need to say. The threat to violence is only meaningful if the right is initiating violence.
