ALBAWABA - After a grand jury in New York indicted Donald Trump on 34 counts of criminal charges, his followers flooded pro-Trump websites with demands for revolution, bloodshed, and extreme measures.
Enraged by his historic indictment—making him the first American president to be charged with a crime—Trump's followers have made countless deadly threats on social media. Such remarks were discovered by Reuters on three pro-Trump websites: Gateway Pundit, Patriots.win, and Trump's own Truth Social.
Some commenters urged that Judge Juan Merchan be put to death, while others advocated for attacking the jury members. Severe demands for armed insurrection and civil war were also heard.
Patriots.win users said, "I hope he uses a machete when he meets some illegal immigrants," while one user added, "Someone in New York with nothing to lose needs to take care of Merchan," referring to illegal immigration, according to Reuters.
Following Trump's indictment, there has been an increase in threats and demands for violence. One commenter on Gateway Pundit advocated for using force against liberals, saying, "We need to eliminate certain lefties... Voting is not the solution to this."
Since Trump claimed that the 2020 election results were rigged and lost, the amount of harassment and threats has increased.
In an attempt to thwart his chances of winning the presidency, Trump has charged corrupt operatives of President Joe Biden's administration, including judges and prosecutors, with overseeing his trials.
