'Make the other side die': Michigan Trump fan makes ominous warning ahead of election

A Trump supporter in Michigan this week issued an ominous warning about what will happen should his candidate not prevail in the upcoming election.

In an interview with Politico, 62-year-old Trump supporter Richard McLeod, who in the past had been a militia member, suggested mass violence was in the offing if the election didn't go as he hoped.

“We need God’s help, and I’m praying he’ll transition this thing peacefully, but if not, that’s where I come in,” he said. “I’m standing my ground. I’m fighting ‘til I die. And I want to make the other side die for their cause.”

McLeod's comments come in the context of Trump supporters in Michigan refusing to believe that there is any chance he will lose the election, despite the fact that he lost it decisively in 2020 to President Joe Biden.

Trump fan Kirk Deatrick, for instance, believes that Trump will win with 80 percent of the vote and said that only Democrats "cheating" would change that outcome.

“The media would tell you that Harris is winning, but the heart of America will tell you that Trump’s got it made,” he said.

Another Trump supporter named Dan Danger told Politico that he simply didn't believe Vice President Kamala Harris was intelligent enough to win the election.

“It’s kind of like the rabbit and the sloth,” said Danger. “Have you ever seen a sloth? They have no brain. They work really slow. And that’s Harris.”
