'I want blood': Rabid Trump supporters' fury is building as arraignment nears

Donald Trump's supporters are threatening war over the former president's indictment on espionage-related charges.

Republican lawmakers and politicians have responded to the indictment with incendiary rhetoric, while pro-Trump message boards have been ablaze with violent threats reminiscent of the online chatter before the Jan. 6 insurrection, reported Vice News.

“MAGA will make Waco look like a tea party,” said a user called 1776take2 on the pro-Trump forum The Donald. "I used to laugh when my mom said that she was afraid if she registered Republican she may be arrested one day. I’m not laughing any more. Just buying more ammo.”

A federal grand jury indicted Trump last week on 37 charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith, and some of the threats targeted the official who appointed him, attorney general Merrick Garland.

“America cannot allow this cowardly thug to destroy our democracy," wrote one Trump supporter on the forum. "This is what the Second Amendment was made for. Buy a gun or help organize your local militia today.”

Some of the Trump supporters used language suggesting they hoped the unrest would launch a race war.

“Accelerate, the quicker the normies realize this isn’t a free country, the quicker things can be fixed,” wrote one user on The Donald.

Others were more succinct.

“I want blood," one said. "I want f---ing blood.”
