Though James Cromwell was honored at the fourth annual Carney Awards for his work as a character actor, the industry veteran has worked as a political activist his entire career.
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.”
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.”

Another way of saying "civility can start again", when the Democrats win.
Similar to Hillary, Stretch is blowing the dog whistle for hate and violence against Trump and his supporters.
The stupid is strong in this one...lefty word salad.
Yet we’re led to believe that it’s all Trump with “violence” in his “rhetoric”.
So be it.
If you want to lose, you’re a loser.
James Cromwell is a loser.
I’m a winner. I’ve got a winner fighting for me and i will fight for him.
These people don't even know what these words mean. It is just more virtue signaling from the Left.
Attention liberal actors, whores, jocks, mediots and mouth pieces, and your mobs in the streets! “Do Not Make Us Defend ourselves!”
Thanks to Snickering Hound for the above!
Thanks to Yoe for the above!

“we won’t have to do what comes next, which is either a non-violent revolution or a violent one...”
That’s funny stuff. An actor who shoots make-believe weapons acting in make-believe movies wants to start a real revolution. I’d bet a steak dinner that this doddering old geezer can’t even do 10 push-ups.
Blood in the Streets? Can’t freakin wait!
Leave the projecting to the mechanical projectors Nicolai.
I guess I should have credited Cromwell with this nonsense.
Well all righty then.
There were 22 comments (at the site) and 21 of those were critical of crumbwell’s idiotic mewling.
I don't know who she is, but after I looked them up, I wonder if James was permanently scarred by being Lee J. Cobb's son in law.
Cromwell's father, John, was a director and actor who was blacklisted during the McCarthy era. The online consensus seems to be that Cromwell Sr. wasn't actually a Communist, but who can say?
James Cromwell was Archie Bunker's pal, Stretch Cunningham. I thought Stretch was one of those characters that get talked about on the show without ever turning up, but apparently not.
Never heard of him.
The Stretch Cunningham funeral episode was one of the funniest ever.
.
I thought Cromwell was a Brit. Didn’t we throw them out already?
Time to go at it again.
How many whores are on the Deep States payroll ?
This sounds like a follower of Hillary and her donor class - already rejected the results of a free and fair election in 2016, and he's preparing to reject the results for 2018 if he doesn't get his way. I hope he will consider just how many real Americans took an oath with no expiration date, before he chooses to act as an enemy of the Constitution of the United States. Millions of us solemnly swore to defend that document, and we have not forgotten. His violent revolution would be far uglier than he expects but also more one-sided than he can imagine.
Sooner or later, fire will be fought with fire.
