Back in June, less that 24 hours before James Hodgkinson decided to open fire on the GOP
baseball practice in Alexandria, VA, radio host Michael Savage was commenting on developments
that had escalated the anti-Trump resistance, such as comedian Kathy Griffins ISIS-style photo
shoot of the decapitated likeness of Trump and the Julius Caesar play in Central Park featuring
the assassination of a Trump-like figure, and predicted "there are people out there who are
marginal, who are going to go off like a rocket and kill somebody. Here's what he said [4]:

I dont know how much more of this the country can take, Savage said.

We are at a boiling point. he told his listeners Tuesday.

If they keep this up, Im telling you theres going to be an explosion in this
country.

Do you understand that there are people out there who are marginal, who are
going to go off like a rocket and kill somebody? Savage asked.

Do you understand what this left-wing is becoming in this country

Little did he know at the time, within 24 hours his prediction came true as Hodgkinson opened fire
on a GOP baseball practice in a mass assassination attempt that nearly claimed the life of Majority
Whip Steven Scalise.

But now, as the media continues in its crusade to oust Trump from the White House at all costs, a
task in which they've seemingly garnered the support of an army of leakers and perhaps even a
portion of the U.S. intelligence community, Savage is back with another prediction, namely that the
left's continued struggle with "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is going to result in "mob
violence" and ultimately a "civil war" if their calls for Trump's impeachment are successful.
Per WND [5]:

If the left succeeds in its effort to remove President Trump from office or renders
him virtually powerless, Americas working class the Eddies and Ediths will
revolt, warned author and nationally syndicated talk-radio host Michael Savage.

Referring to a 1939 novel, Savage told his listeners Friday that The Day of the
Locust will come and people will resort to mob violence when they are finally
aware of the fact that theyve been tricked by their society, and that no matter how
hard they work as middle class people they are denied.

That is whats going to happen in this country, Savage said. You have not
yet seen mob violence in this country. Youve seen some mob violence
instigated by George Soros mobs. But you havent seen the thing Im
telling you is coming in this country. You havent seen the Day of the Locust
yet.

The Day of the Locust is a 1939 novel by Nathanael West that features an artist
from Yale who comes to Hollywood and creates a painting called The Burning of
Los Angeles. The painting captures the despair of Americans who worked and
saved their entire lives but failed to realize the American dream, prompting anger
that boils over into destruction and mob rule.

Savage said that when Eddie finally gets up and says thats the end of the road,
and Eddies eyes turn red, and blood is in his eyes, Eddie will turn this society
upside down.

And if [the left] take(s) Trump down, through (Special Counsel Robert)
Mueller or through any other source and deny Eddie his vote, there will be a
civil war in this country, Savage said.

The civil war, he said will start slowly, but it will be like Fort Sumter, which
started with one cannon shot.

Im warning you. All of you leftists who think youre going to steal our vote,
youre wrong, Savage said.

Weve had it up to here. Weve put up with your garbage in the universities. Weve
put up with your filth coming out of your filth factories in Hollywood. Weve put up
with your hatred that comes out of your newspapers. Weve put up with your filth
and your hatred coming out of CNN, he said.

But if you do the next step and steal our president, I warn you. Youve seen
nothing yet. You will see the Day of the Locust in this country.

Of course, this is a fairly common theme for Savage who, in 2014, penned a book entitled Stop the
Coming Civil War in which he described the severity of Americas divide...

Not since the run-up to the Civil War has the nation been more divided, he says.
The battle lines have been drawn: The haves against the have-nots. The illegal
aliens against hard working middle-class families. Liberals who hate the second
amendment versus lawful gun owners. Climate activists whose policies cause forest
fires and exacerbate drought against those who understand that the effect on
human activity is negligible. Anti-Christian Communist educators against God
fearing families. Republicrats against Patriots.

...but, while his worst predictions have yet to come true, with the political divide growing wider in this
country with each passing day, we suspect it may only be a matter of time.
