Scott Lively Calls for ‘Armed Rebellion’ if GOP Fails to Retake Congress in 2022

Right-wing activist and podcaster Scott Lively said on his Prophecy and Politics live stream last month that if Republicans fail to retake control of the federal government in the 2022 midterm elections that Americans can and should commit “armed rebellion” against the government.

Sedition is the second most serious crime one can perpetrate against the United States, according to the Constitution, with treason listed as the worst.

“Hopefully, we can take back the country in 2022. If we don’t, if we don’t get it back by 2022, I don’t think it’s going to happen, short of some kind of violent insurrection, which is still possible. People are eventually going to stop putting up with tyrannical authority, and when the only remedy and the only avenue of resistance becomes armed rebellion, then some people are going to act in that way. And if they have any success at all, a lot of other people will follow them,” said Lively.

“Do what it takes. Let the Holy Spirit inspire you as to what you can do to bring the country back into the hands of genuine patriots in this next election cycle, because if we don’t take it back in ’22, it’s not takeable back, because if they can cheat us in ’22, then it’s sort of a lost cause from that point,” Lively continued. “Just sort of hunker down, build your bomb shelter, gather your survival supplies, get your children out of the public school, move to a place that the government doesn’t know they exist, raise them without letting the government know who they are or where they are, and go underground with your church and your social network, social structure. Disconnect from the grid if we don’t take the country back in 2020, cause right now, they have an incentive to be less radical, right – [President Joe] Biden and all the rest of them – they have an incentive to be less radical because they know everything hinges on 2022. But once that’s over, once we have thrown everything that we can, if they are able to break that and beat that, that’s it. That’s the last, that’s the last bastion right there.”
