This is where I get confused since the second interpretation would logically lead to a civil war.
However the amount of government corruption is so high it does seem like a second revolution is the only way to restore our Constitutional Republic as founded.
I agree. Whichever interpretation, it leads to revolution (see: Declaration). And even his base isn’t up for that.

The thing is, no matter what he meant, most people will take him literally. Take his statements at face value. Take him at his word. So does it really matter what he “really meant”? The damage is done. His own words can forever be used against him. The Dems are rubbing their hands with glee.
No matter how much some may say he’s playing 5D chess or whatever, I cannot see him being electable in 2024 after this.
