Democrats and the lefty media (which is most of it) are trying to get as much mileage as possible out of Trump's "bloodbath" comment at a campaign rally this weekend -- a remark that's being intentionally taken out of context. The result is headlines like these:
Former President Donald Trump vowed at a rally that there would be a “bloodbath” if he’s not re-elected in November. https://t.co/z3M57b6Hg5

Trump says country faces ‘bloodbath’ if Biden wins in November https://t.co/qVsIWIMmvc

Trump's remark was in connection with what would happen to the auto industry and economy in general if Biden gets another term, so of course the headlines are "Trump promises a bloodbath if he loses in November."
But what happens if Trump wins?
NBC News' presidential historian Michael Beschloss has that covered as well:
MSNBC’s @BeschlossDC: “A major party candidate is saying, ‘You elect me, there’s going to be dictatorship, bloodbath, violence, retribution against my political enemies that equals what we’ve seen in Germany & Italy & other places.” pic.twitter.com/Yg7KHdWibq

(You can watch the whole 3 minute attempt at rationalizing his hyperbole or just skip to the last 15 seconds)

So, there's either going to be a bloodbath, or a bloodbath.
Wait. I thought it was a bloodbath if Trump loses? Forget it, he's rolling https://t.co/wlZTizTY8O

Even more amazing is the lefty media's TDS stamina, but then again if they didn't have that, they'd have nothing else.
Michael Beschloss is allegedly a presidential historian.

Democrat activist first -- "presidential historian" a distant second.
The five remaining viewers who are still watching MSDNC "programming" are going to be super scared there will be a "bloodbath" if Donald Trump wins

OR if Trump loses. REEEEE.

That word is perfectly fine when they use it.
This guy is such a sycophant. No wonder he’s up at the White House all the time whispering sweet nothings in Joe’s ear: “My liege, you are the second coming of FDR!”

Pretty sad that the thing that makes the president happiest is to hear Trump called a fascist on Morning Joe. https://t.co/LNOGEptNYk
The entirety of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" appears to be designed as therapy for the Biden White House.
Stop what you're doing and remember what you learned.

We learned that what Democrats are doing or are planning on doing is what they accuse us of.
So, knowing that, what do Democrats have planned for us?
Well they said a Dictator and a Bloodbath. So take them at their word. https://t.co/q4Q43ES0zT
These people always accuse the other side of things they do or plan. For example, imagine which side the violence will come from if Trump wins (Hint: They won't be Republicans).
