I’ve become convinced that the greatest ever in rotation of Berg’s 7th law has been this past two decades’ drum beat of promises that there is “an avalanche of right wing terrorism” just around the corner.<\/p>\n

Any day now.<\/p>\n

Honest.<\/p>\n

Actor James Cromwell predicts \u2013 I would say it’s more like “calls for” \u2013 “revolution” if the Republicans win the midterms:<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking to Variety<\/a> at the event, he warned of the turn that he sees America taking and cautioned there will be \u201cblood in the streets\u201d if Republicans remain in control.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is nascent fascism. We always had a turnkey, totalitarian state \u2014 all we needed was an excuse, and all the institutions were in place to turn this into pure fascism,\u201d Cromwell said. \u201cIf we don\u2019t stop [President Trump] now, then we will have a revolution for real. Then there will be blood in the streets.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The star, who previously played George H.W. Bush in Oliver Stone’s “W,” echoed these sentiments during his acceptance speech, where he warned that he believes the country is headed toward the possibility of a violent revolution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re living in very curious times, and something is coming up which is desperately important to this country and to this planet, and that is an election, in which hopefully in some measure we are going to take back our democracy,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will have a government that represents us and not the donor class. We will cut through the corruption, [and] we won\u2019t have to do what comes next, which is either a non-violent revolution or a violent one, because this has got to end.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t think members of the “elite” Realize how many Americans are ready to take him up on that. I don’t think it’s going to go nearly as well as they \u2013 Cromwell \u2013 think it will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
