Huh? This is completely different. He's prepping his supporters to rise up in armed revolt once he is truly cornered.

I know this risks an admonishment by dang, but this needs to be said.

Wait, you think Trump is trying to start an armed revolt on the basis of him getting impeached? His favorability isn't that high... He has below a 42% approval rating. 1% of that actually rising up seems pretty unlikely. Do people not watching Fox news live in this kind of fear?
