Actor Alec Baldwin followed up his latest parody portrayal of President Donald Trump with a serious call Sunday night for voters to use the Nov. 6 midterm elections to peacefully "overthrow" the government.

After reprising his role as Trump on "Saturday Night Live," Baldwin flew to New Hampshire, where he was the keynote speaker at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's annual fall fundraising dinner.

"The way we implement change in America is through elections. We change governments here at home in an orderly and formal way," he said. "In that orderly and formal way and lawful way, we need to overthrow the government of the United States under Donald Trump."

Baldwin said on issue after issue, Republicans are destroyers, not builders.

Alec Baldwin and the subject of his SNL impersonation: So much winning.

[Initech]

1. Yeah, poor choice of words there, Alec.

Or is it meant for them to take it out of context - and you know they will.

[sandensea]

2. I think he's trying to get a rise out of them - like he does every week on SNL

It's a smart move, because some of them are bound to lose their temper.

They'll probably be caught throwing feces on some SNL bus stop ad, like the zoo creatures they are.

13. I think it was a great choice of words

because overthrow is exactly what is needed. Fuck their feelings, this coup needs overthrown and the entire nazi party (fka the GOP) needs jailed.

[Bengus81]

15. FANTASTIC choice of words IMO...overthrow this CABAL by getting off your ASS.....

and voting---NO EXCUSE EXCEPTED.

[Initech]

16. Oh I'm all in on GOTV!!!

But no doubt these fuckers will take that out of context like they did with Eric Holder.

[Gothmog]

3. This is one of the most important elections in my lifetime

GOTV

[yuiyoshida]

4. YOU GOT that right!

[sandensea]

5. And let's make sure someone's keeping a close eye on the electronic voting/tabulation

These thugs will stop at nothing - including hi-tech ballot suffing.

[2naSalit]

8. Absolutely!

[Bfd]

6. Calling for overthrow of the Trump Govt. I love ya Alec & safe passage

Perhaps his use of the words :

"The way we implement change in America is through elections.
We change governments here at home in an orderly and formal way," he said.
"In that orderly and formal way and lawful way, we need to overthrow the government of the United States under Donald Trump."

~ peacefully "overthrow" the government.

Vote!

Nothing threatening about that

.

7. And if that doesn't work, I for one wouldn't mind seeing the Joint Chiefs have a talk w/Twitler:

"Mr. president: We've lost confidence in you as a Commander-in-Chief, and frankly in every other way. You, sir, have become a Clear and Present Danger to this nation, and the world."

"So get your fat orange ass out of the Oval Office, or we'll drag you by your bleached hair plugs!!"

[Bfd]

9. Haa. Alec Baldwin receives Nobel Peace Prize & another Hollywood Star, to replace Trump's.

It very much could happen!

[sandensea]

10. +1

When they drag him out kicking and screaming, I just hope someone's there to film it.

[Bfd]

11. Yes. Filmed Live & broadcast on every station in the whole world.

Including Russia & Saudi Arabia

[beachbum bob]

12. It is great thing he said, our "revolution" is a democratic one based on the power of our vote

not the idea of threats and violence.

[The Liberal Lion]

14. As far as I'm concerned if voting doesn't work the actions as Baldwin called it must persist

Peaceful or not this nightmare must end. Peaceful MUST be their decision, to persist by any means necessary is ours.

[red dog 1]

17. K&R

He looks just like the bastard!

[JohnnyRingo]

18. "Destroyers, not builders"

That and taking away civil rights from people they don't like.
