FERGUSON, MO - AUGUST 10: Oath Keepers, carrying rifles, walk along West Florrisant Street as demonstrators, marking the first anniversary of the shooting of Michael Brown, protest on August 10, 2015 in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer on August 9, 2014. His death sparked months of sometimes violent protests in Ferguson and drew nationwide focus on police treatment of black suspects.

On Sunday night, Donald Trump tweeted out a call for civil war should he be removed from office, and it didn’t take long for the Oath Keepers, a radical anti-government group that was formed “in the direct aftermath of the election of the nation’s first black president,” to answer that call:

HereÃ¢ÂÂs the money quote from that thread. This is the truth. This is where we are. We ARE on the verge of a HOT civil war. Like in 1859. ThatÃ¢ÂÂs where we are. And the Right has ZERO trust or respect for anything the left is doing. We see THEM as illegitimate too.@StewartRhodesOK https://t.co/DjB8TY0vCo

These, along with the entirety of the Republican Party, are Donald Trump’s people.

Things are going to get (even more) ugly. But not nearly as ugly as what an unchecked Donald Trump is doing to this country.
