Regarding taking Trump “out of context.”

Trump has no context. He meanders from topic to topic several times in the same sentence. He throws out buzzwords that communicate ideas without actually saying them. He calls the J6 criminals “hostages.” He calls immigrants “not human.” He calls liberals “vermin.”

So when he says there’s going to be a bloodbath and we won’t have another election if he loses, I see zero reason to extend some sort of translation service to his words. He said it. If he meant something else, let him explain it in more detail and I’ll decide if that checks out. It won’t. Meanwhile, hammer the shit out of him because he’s threatening more violence and is in fact trying to make it happen.
