Hasan Piker Invokes JFK Quote About ‘Violent Revolution’ Following Court’s Ruling on VA Gerrymander
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”
The left’s favorite streamer/podcaster, Hasan Piker, wasted no time invoking political violence following the decision by the Virginia Supreme Court, striking down the Democrats’ attempt to redraw congressional districts.
On Twitter/X, Piker rolled out the old JFK quote about ‘violent revolution’ being inevitable.
FOX News reports:
Leftist streamer calls violent revolution ‘inevitable’ as Democrats explode over Virginia court decision
Democrats exploded in fury Friday after the Virginia Supreme Court struck down a party-backed redistricting map central to their midterm election strategy, with at least one prominent leftist voice going so far as to call violent revolution “inevitable.”
In a 4-3 decision, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that a voter-approved map, which would give Democrats a 10-1 advantage in U.S. House races, violated the state’s constitution because of procedural errors in the map’s passage. Virginia voters will cast ballots in the 2026 midterms using the same district maps from the 2022 and 2024 elections, which Democrats currently hold 6-5.
But Democratic lawmakers and commentators alike have framed the Supreme Court’s ruling as an act going against the will of the people. Hasan Piker, a popular leftist streamer who has espoused antisemitic rhetoric and campaigns with congressional candidates, accused the Virginia Supreme Court of denying the results of the state’s redistricting referendum.
“Scotus gutted the voting rights act and tennessee carved up the last dem district destroying black voter power in the state,” Piker wrote on X. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”
Here’s the tweet:

I don’t know about you, but I am sick of hearing about the left’s bloodlust and desire for a revolution. In case they missed it, we had a revolution in November of 2024. They lost.
Piker might also want to brush up on his history.
Hooboy wait until you find out the context of what he was referring to and who. https://t.co/OzoWqCaTc8

Hasan is so damn stupid that he doesn’t even know that this quote was made in context on why the Alliance for Progress should work to *stop* the spread of communism in the western hemisphere. It’s a purely anti-communist statement and this communist retard doesn’t realize it. https://t.co/gHm3g93Zxw

He was talking about countries like Cuba (whose regime you simp for) which denied their people basic freedoms… https://t.co/qKYJkEUSjj

Piker’s ignorance could be brushed aside under normal circumstances, but that is no longer the case.
Charlie Kirk was shot dead less than a year ago, and there have been multiple attempts on Trump’s life.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I would contribute to the GoFundMe account of anyone who in the immortal mosaic work by Comey 86’d this ahole. Of course GoFundMe would never allow funds to be raised for the defense of anyone charged with doing bodily harm to the democratic darling but you get the idea.
I posted this here in June 2020:
Let’s start a movement, like the Three Percenters, only instead of direct action, supporters will instead pledge to not deliver guilty verdicts against patriots who take action necessary to defend the Constitution and American values and culture.
Take the pledge. Spread the word.
The Three Percenters were a leaderless organization by design, there was no “membership.” You either were one or you weren’t — you decided. That is exactly the only kind of jury nullification “affinity group” that has a chance of surviving. Let the FBI agents infiltrate the men in the mirror, because there is nobody else out here but us chickens.
Give, Send, Go
The VA supreme court ruled very narrowly on grounds of procedure such as if the text of the proposition was honest, and if it violated other legal requirements for the procedure it did not rule the redistricting itself was illegal.
Now lets be blunt
Right wing redistricting has a history of getting very similar “you did not follow state regulation and law while doing this we are throwing it out go do it again” from conservative judges on state supreme courts plenty of times. This isn’t just not a major defeat this is barely even a minor defeat if the Democrats wish it they could try again while complying with VA state law.
The big part of the story is Democrat reaction to it, and anyone on the “right” making common cause with Hasan Piker should be thrown out, especially if they don’t actually define themselves as right.
Our movement simply can’t include socialists or their sympathizers.
Socialism is our political enemy, it is what the Republican Party exists to oppose, if you are reaching out to Hasan Piker it means at best you are fine with socialism.
I am aware of no one on the right making common cause with the likes of Hasan Piker. I think you are confused.
If they ARE making common cause with Piker, they’re not on the right.
Danny is confused, as usual.
Don’t tell me that you jackass tell the Vice President of the United States.
J.D. Vance openly told Gen Z they should consume Theo Van who is making common cause with Hasan Piker.
Sorry that you are once again placing the old head in the anus.
When you resort to junior high school quality insults you have lost any and all credibility you might have had.
Shut up, Dim Sum.
By the way, it’s “Theo Von.”
Come back to the argument when you’re old enough to get your driver’s license.
You do know Trump went his podcast (tacitly endorsing Vaughn and his podcast) and then followed up with an invitation to attend his inaugural?
We get it, you don’t like Vance. That’s fine. Attempting to impose a purity test for the center/right coalition based on your world
view is not fine. I get the feeling that no matter what Vance says re Vaughn or TC it will never be enough to satisfy you. He fired TC’s son and if that’s not some evidence of ‘creating space’ I don’t know what is.
I suspect the real reason the neocon, establishment, corporatist wing of the GoP remains opposed to Vance is b/c they realize he is much bigger threat to their gravy train. He really believes in ‘putting America First’ and will reevaluate every ‘ally and alliance’ based on whether it directly benefits the broad middle-class v some indirect, amorphous filtered through DC/Wall St, Acela corridor wishlist and that he’d apply the scrutiny even to longstanding ‘allies’ such as the UK. That you’d join the even more terrified lefty, wokiesta d/prog in their smear campaign to stifle his potential Presidential campaign is quite sad but very revealing.
Uniparty Danny is probably referring to Tucker Carlson again.
Jackass Paddy the Tucker Carlson ass licker still loves himself some socialism.
I would agree that Theo Van isn’t right except for the fact that the Vice President endorsed him.
Theo Van absolutely is making common cause with Hasan Piker.
You could burry your head in your dam ass just like you did for Tucker Carlson or be inside planet Earth.
The fact that every single warning I gave that you should believe Tucker Carlson when he communicates that he despises everything you believe in got downvoted to the same extent this post did.
Will you be apologizing when you realize the policy of deliberately steering Gen Z towards Hasan Piker’s allies was a horrible one?
I still have no idea who or what you are talking about. Are you trying to say Theo Von?
You insinuated upstream that there were people on the right “making common cause” with the dangerous moron Hasan Piker. You were called out on it.
You then used Theo Von (note correct spelling, idiot) as an example of someone “making common cause” with Hasan Piker. Von is not on the right. So you STILL haven’t pointed out a single instance of someone on the right supporting Hasan Piker.
The fact that J D Vance went on his podcast back in June of 2025 means nothing. So did Donald Trump, in 2024.
None of this is the “own” you think it is, Pony Boy.
I’ll just sit back and wait for the inevitable stream-of-consciousness inbound rant.
You really should just leave instead.
Then you are against J.D. Vance embracing Theo Von and desiring the grandchildren to all pull up a chair and take in what he has to say?
When either side adopts a figure he/she belongs to that side which is alarming to me, but you do you, you make common cause with Theo Von.
Danny-boy:
“When either side adopts a figure he/she belongs to that side which is alarming to me, but you do you, you make common cause with Theo Von.”
Every time you post, and I make the mistake of reading it, I feel lessened by the experience.
Do close the door behind you after you leave.
LMAO.
The Dems knew and understood the rules. They were pressed for time and decided to ignore them. This failure to redistrict VA is entirely the responsibility of the State’s Dem leadership. But given time constraints, what could they do? They thought the courts would let it slide and/or thought the Rs were going to roll over. They were wrong on both counts. (I believe the VA SC realized that the process was so flawed that they’d lose after having the case taken to the federal courts. They did the Dems a favor by clarifying the situation immediately, forcing them to face reality now, rather than later when they would have had less time to react to the same situation.)
this is normal for dems.
they ignore rules n when
caught they eather claim
ignorance or loudly claim
this action has s more important
then rules. however demand GOP
follow every rule to the letter.
Well said
The extremely mild nature of the rulling, extremely standard nature of the ruling, and frankly the exceptionally ordinary nature of the case all indict people with strong reactions to it like Hasan Piker.
This in turn raises the question do you want to see the grandchildren watching Theo Van friend and ally of Hasan Piker?
I think socialists and their sympathizers have no place on the right, and that we can’t avoid the Theo Van issue, but apparently a lot of people who like to comment at LI disagree.
“The Dems knew and understood the rules. They were pressed for time and decided to ignore them.”
Precisely! They seem to do that quite often since 2009. The kowtowing, and trying to blend in with their audiences by adapting a facade similar to the demographics…and the audiences are sooo lame they don’t even realize it.
“Acting out of desperation because nothing else is working and we can’t let America win” is almost a leftist motto.
Just pathetic and sick.
They didn’t ignore them. They relied on a legal theory that when the constitution says “election” it means the event that happens on “election day”, and not the entire election season.
That’s a perfectly plausible and reasonable position to take, and it’s not obviously wrong, but it’s also not obviously right. They always knew there was a risk that the state supreme court would not accept this theory, but they decided to roll the dice. Either it would be accepted and their amendment would be upheld, or it would be rejected and they’d be no worse off than before.
Well, it was rejected. We now know that in Virginia “election” means the entire election season, from when the first ballots are mailed out until the last ballots arrive to be counted. Their gamble didn’t pay off; but it was a reasonable risk for them to take.
That could not happen. There is no question of federal law raised, so it would have been impossible to take it to federal court. And that remains the case; the Dems have no recourse to the federal courts.
Who’s going to tell him which side of the aisle has all the guns in Virginia?
Be quiet…. make it be a surprise if it unfortunately happens… but ask him to watch the last episode of the Sopranos. Reap-Sow karma.
Hey, Piker, I’ve been citing that Kennedy quote since before you were born.
You think you’re up to violent revolution… bring it.
I can’t wait to take America BACK from you aholes.
Having not paid much attention to Piker? The most noticeable thing was he seemed super narcissistic and gay and closeted. Having just checked I guessed correctly – he was closeted but is now out. What is it about being gay and publicly promoting it?
time to buy more ammo n
re-stone my knives.
need to re zero my guns.
maybe some more practice
work the kinks out…
might buy a laser system to
practice with save ammo.
Guys like Piker will be gone first and fastest when the ‘revolution’ starts. There will be two sides, not just one.
Very likely more than two ‘sides’… but if your point is that violence/bullets go in more than one direction, that your opponent/opposition gets their ‘turn’ and that ‘allies’ might prove less than devoted…. then yes indeed Mr Piker and other posers who LARP as ‘tough guy’ keyboard warriors will be very unsettled to find out those particular truths first hand.
The way commies swing, winning doesn’t assure the continuation of Mr. Piker’s life even if he survives the revolution.
Yep, the opening round leadership of revolutions often doesn’t survive the actions of their fellow revolutionaries.
We have seen this version of political violence before. Once you get past the loudspeakers, whistles, and slogans you find a bunch of over privileged kids with bicycle helmets and trashcan lid shields. Piker is not going to like how this revolution pans out.
Yep. Leftist wannabe revolutionary leaders/instigators never envision themselves being dragged to the guillotine. Kinda like how they seem to believe that some unspecified other will be toiling in the fields/factory to support their socialist/common utopia while they make.the next 5 year plan, give the orders and go home to the estate the State seized and handed to them.
Fatigue has spawned the centrist shift to the right, and the typical leftist can’t accept disagreement.
Violence is all they have and they will consume themselves before “their” revolt occurs.
Leftist like Piker say many things and think they are protected
By freedom of speech. Incitement to violence is not covered by freedom speech. Piker is a communist provocateur.
Piker is a wannabe. He’ll never make the first move. Too much of a coward to put his microballs where his mouth is.
People need to keep challenging this guy. He will eventually either get stupid or lose all of his credibility.
Leftists have been trying to trigger violent revolution for decades. The only difference now is that many on the Right are tired of their crap and have reached a breaking point.
Bring it.
A long time ago, in a comment section far, far away, a troll was mocking conservatives with “The government has tanks and fighter jets. How do you think you will prevail against them?” I replied with, “Friend, you have it all wrong. We don’t intend to fight the government, we intend to fight you.”
Tanks and fighters can’t do much without crews, suppliers, maintainers, fuel, ammunition…
Indiana Jones versus the swordsman. Just too tired to care.
True fact: Harrison Ford was ill the day that scene was filmed and he just didn’t have the energy for a fight scene, so the scene was altered to suit Ford’s condition.
I remember reading about the filming in Time magazine, he was very sick and said, Why can’t I just shoot the f**ker”. IIRC, Time spelled out the word.
This guy is just aching for a macroaggression.
I think I can say with a high level of certainty that Hasan Piker will never dirty his hands by being on the front line of the revolution he is inciting.
piker
noun
pik·er ˈpī-kər
1: one who gambles or speculates with small amounts of money
2: one who does things in a small way
I can say with a high level of certainty that all these people calling for revolution will be the first against the wall when the revolution actually occurs. When the Useful Idiots™ are no longer useful that’s what happens to them in any revolution.
I’m really tired of Hasan Wanker — an utterly stupid, hypocritical, obnoxious, self-enriching, lazy, private sector-avoiding, silver spoon-fed, vile communist/Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist, and his corrosive and idiotic bile and self-aggrandizing theatrical performance.
A wretched and transparent hustler and charlatan, through and through.
Excellent, but you forgot “dangerous”.
For decades they used the system to get their way. Now when the truth is was always unconstitutional and they cry.
Seems inauthentic, like he’s playing a revolutionary in a movie. Seen tons like him over time. Too bad there are so many gullible, lost people that can’t see through him. He will leave a lot of damage in his wake.
Raise your hand if Piker’s obit would bring a smile.
What Piker either fails to grasp, or refuses to accept, is that those who make peace impossible make violence inevitable.
SCOTUS ruling that the VA gerrymander is unlawful and invalid preserves the peaceful status quo – electoral districts that reflect the will of the people.
What Piker wants is to effectively disenfranchise half the state, ignoring his own point that when peaceful options are eliminated only violence is left – no pun intended, and oblivious to the fact that he’s likely a contender for starring in a set of ‘personality identification playing cards’.
SCOTUS hasn’t ruled on it, and won’t, since there are no federal questions. This is entirely a matter of state law.
The Dem position that SCOTCOV rejected was not unreasonable. VA law defines “election” for most purposes as “election day”. The court decided that for this purpose it means something different, because using the usual definition would defeat the purpose of this provision. That’s a reasonable approach, but not the only possible one.
