Actor Says ‘There Will Be Blood In The Streets’ If Trump Isn’t Stopped

But please. Tell me more about how President Trump is sooooooooooo inciting violence.

Quite recently, actor James Cromwell spoke to Variety and told them that there will most definitely be blood in the streets if Trump isn’t stopped.

On the red carpet at the Eli and Edythe Broad Stage in Santa Monica, Calif., he candidly shared his thoughts about the current political climate.

“This is nascent fascism. We always had a turnkey, totalitarian state — all we needed was an excuse, and all the institutions were in place to turn this into pure fascism,” Cromwell told Variety on Sunday night. “If we don’t stop [President Trump] now, then we will have a revolution for real. Then there will be blood in the streets.”

Wow. Sounds kinda violent if you ask me. It almost sounds like he’s calling for…incivility or something. Hillary would be pleased!

Cromwell later echoed his statement during his acceptance speech for one of the six Carney Awards given out that night.

“We’re 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,” Cromwell said. “We will have a government that represents us and not the donor class. We will cut through the corruption, [and] we won’t have to do what comes next, which is either a non-violent revolution or a violent one, because this has got to end.”

That begs the question. What’s their plan of action of there’s no blue wave? A “violent” revolution?

But Trump’s rhetoric, amirite?

Update: This “ethical vegan” wants you to know that people are TOTALLY taking him out of context.

Not promoting violence, voting against it. You will never see me raising a fist. I’m a pacifist. My words were taken out of context. I’m worried about the blood of the dissent, protesters, more children shot at school, people shot while praying, for who they love and who they are
