Former Secretary of State John Kerry raised the possibility that a victory by President Trump could provoke a revolution in the United States, claiming that Republicans have a history of denying voting rights to Democratic voters.

“If people don't have adequate access to the ballot, I mean that's the stuff on which revolutions are built,” Kerry said during a virtual appearance at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit. “If you begin to deny people the capacity of your democracy to work, even the Founding Fathers wrote in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, we have an inherent right to challenge that. And I'm worried that increasingly, people are disaffected."

I think this is the other way around. Should Biden win the resulting upheaval of societal norms might just trigger a revolution. Not necessarily a 'violent' revolution but one that takes another form.

The 2016 election WAS the Revolution, John.

Trump is rebelling against the anti-America deep state. And by the way John Hanoi Kerry I am not a baby killer nor war criminal actually you are.

[GreyFriar]

Actually, it has all ready inspired a Democrat/Leftist party led revolution.

Wishful thinking. Kerry fears the complete un-doing of the Obama deep state that four more years of Trump threatens. He doesn’t want any fantastical revolution at all. He wants Trump out and this is a delusional self head-fake. The only revolution you’ll see is the bolstering of anti-social hate groups by these increasingly desperate leftists.

Once again a tired, disproven trope is hauled out of the closet right before an election.

Long past time to rid America of the Democrat/Left.

Should Biden win the resulting upheaval of societal norms might just trigger a revolution.

No. We've allowed liberals to have everything from murdering our unborn to elevating fags to an entitled class. And everything in between.

We've shown our leaders are spineless pimps (GOPe) who stand for nothing. We've also shown ourselves to tolerate all the above.

No, no danger of any "revolution" here. Just a lot of talk.

“If people don’t have adequate access to the ballot”

IF

So vote for liberals, punish those who don’t think like us or we will riot again. Sound winning strategy

[Jim Robinson]

John Kerry is an ass.

Deep State message: vote for Biden if you ever want to see want peace and tranquility again in your lifetime.

Count on it putz. Grifting is out, accountability is in. Sorry sucker, you’re not qualified.

Now, now just because he resembles one doesn’t make him one. Well, maybe.

They are praying for a revolution. When it comes, they will be praying for it to end.

JFnK is dog-whistling for insurrection.
