Tucker's recent remarks, something along the lines of enraged right wing protestors coming down from the mountains to sack the cities and hang the judges, comes to mind.

The oligarchs seem to be under the impression that the courts, the legislatures, the ballot, and the very norms of civil society exist to protect us from them, and have therefore moved to dismantle them all. See for example the way they have made it impossible for those bullied into taking the jab to sue the manufacturers, their employers, or the state. This was very foolish. If restitution and redress cannot be had through formal means, it will be ultimately be obtained in a more primal fashion.

Similarly with democratic governance. The whole point of counting heads is to avoid counting broken heads. Falsify the vote often enough, and the majority will one day look to older forms of conflict resolution.

"Sooner or later, we’re going to end their “right” to strangle babies in the womb and then suck their dismembered bodies out using a vacuum."

Okay, as long as you don't fuck this up by talking about this louder than in online blogs. Don't cost us the midterms, because we'll need the House when we try to stop mass immigration, which actually matters since it's about the future of the White race. Until that's over talk about handing the issue over to the states, which is reasonable. Don't talk about a federal ban, which takes away the states-rights argument and makes it hypocritical. And PLEASE don't talk about banning abortion after rape. That abortion right has wide support in both parties.

Last week Robert Regan was defeated in the race for a Michigan state House seat that has been Republican FOR ITS ENTIRE HISTORY, because he made dumb comments about not letting his daughters have an abortion if they were raped. In 2012 Mourdock, Akin and Walsh all lost their seats - the first two in RED states - because they declared "no rape exception" against the will of the majority in both parties.

If you can just refrain from talking about "we'll make it a federal ban if we win both houses!" and "we'll forbid abortion after a woman has been raped," we're good. The Democrats had nothing to run on this year, don't give them everything they need before the midterms.
