The group’s president, Kevin D. Roberts, made the comments in an interview on “The War Room,” the Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon’s show on the network Real America’s Voice.

Mr. Roberts was discussing the Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday that presidents have substantial immunity from prosecution for what they do in office, a ruling that upended the criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and that removes a potential barrier to the most radical elements of his second-term agenda if he is elected again.

“We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday, and in spite of all of the injustice — which of course friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve, know — we are going to prevail,” Mr. Roberts said, alluding to Mr. Bannon’s imprisonment.

He went on to say that “the radical left” was “apoplectic” because “our side is winning” and said, “And so I come full circle in this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

    I hear what you’re saying, but I’m pretty sure Trump will support genocide way more than Biden has.

    Yes, it’s absurd that this is what things have come to, but I’ll still be supporting the lesser of the two evils.

      So genocide isn’t a dealbreaker for you. You will not scrub the blood off your hands; and you deserve to collapse with the country when it comes.

      Are you sure you considered Linkerbaan’s position fully? If you are forced to choose evil, you don’t have a choice, you are forced.

      If you don’t think you’re being forced, then you’re choosing to choose evil.
      If you are being forced, then what does your choice matter?

      Trump doing some things in the future isn’t why your country and countrymen are onboard with genocide now and in the past.
