Democrats lit the ‘assassination culture’ fuse — now their silence equals violence
NYPost ^ | 4/8/25 | Karol Markowicz

How much longer will Democrats accept their supporters’ escalating calls for violence?

The weekend “Hands Off” protests were wholly expected. President Trump riles up the left like few can.

During his first term, the pink-hat protesters hit the streets days after his inauguration. That this administration made it to April without them was something of a miracle.

But Saturday’s demonstrations featured an undercurrent of violent rhetoric.

In New York, a man dressed up as Luigi of “Super Mario Bros.” to honor Luigi Mangione, the murderer of health-care executive Brian Thompson. He carried a sign calling for Trump to be “deposed” — that is, violently overthrown.

In Holland, Mich., Redmond, Ore., and elsewhere, grinning marchers wore shirts and carried placards emblazoned with the number “8647,” pairing the old slang term for murder with a 47 for Trump.

One 8647 protester stood right alongside Minnesota Attorney Gen. Keith Ellison in Minneapolis.

“Hands off or heads off,” read the message on a life-sized guillotine paraded about in Denver.

Protesters vandalized ICE and DHS vehicles in Washington, DC, defacing several and puncturing their tires — after weeks of viral videos of people keying, graffitiing or burning Teslas permeated social media.

It’s not just property either: Over the weekend, a man was arrested in Portland after he used a laser to attempt to blind a Tesla employee.

A leftist protester who blocked traffic at a “Hands Off” rally in Lafayette, Ind., head-butted a driver who confronted him, bloodying the driver’s nose, local police said.

The atmosphere IS a little different from Trump's first term. The left, including Democrat politicians, are openly calling for Trump's and his team members' assassination. Many courts continue to release violent rioters on their OR after which they return to the streets to wreak further havoc.

Some of those elderly paid protesters may find themselves involved in something they weren't expecting and discover it isn't worth the one or two hundred dollars they were paid to march around with their silly signs chanting the even sillier slogans.

Elon Musk is getting tired of the destruction. He posted something earlier today that indicated he is going to go after the organizers of the riots against Tesla dealerships. The Democrats are fond of RICO actions; maybe one will soon land in their lap.

Pelosi and Schumer were asked by reporters to react to the survey showing support for killing Trump and Musk and vandalizing cars.

They refused to talk.

That means they are both guilty as charged.
Guilty.

The Hand Job protests were feeble and totally lacking public support.

Americans have been demanding a reduction in the size and power of government since before President Clinton’s SOTU speech “…the era of big government is over…” back 30 years ago.

Clinton didn’t mean it, Trump does.

Time for the parasites to go elsewhere.

In his first term, the left and GOPe knew they had people in place (including Pence) to keep Trump from discovering all the corruption and from moving forward with his proposed policies. Many in his cabinet made lip service to supporting Trump and his policies while at the same time undermining both his message and his plans.

This time Trump has quite a number of true conservatives in his inner circle; although I’m withholding unwavering support on a couple until they’ve proven themselves. These people are not only conservative but also very intelligent.

The left didn’t plan for this so they may have to return to Plan “C”. And Plan “C” has always been to remove him permanently.

“18 U.S. Code § 2385 - Advocating overthrow of Government”


The Democrats with their plotting and planning and “shadow government” hearings had better walk lightly. Trump may reach the point he has no “””””” left to give. They thought they could treat Trump as a lame duck President since he can’t run for office again. He isn’t going to allow that. Not one bit.

The only noise I am hearing is the MSM (Lying media). Over 60 million leftists stayed home while less than 200,000 collectively assembled nationwide.

I forgot, every one of the 200,000 were paid by Soros-connected NGO’s.

There is no law, nor any statutes they intend to honor.

None.

They follow through with their intentions and....

Yes, Trump is far more powerful and purpose driven this second time around, and it is glorious.

I’ve been waiting for someone like President Trump for more than 50 years, since they drove 49-state winner Nixon from office in the summer of ‘74.

The left has only themselves to blame, especially after Butler last summer.

I was very happy with the Reagan years, but this administration is on the Washington / Lincoln level, coming to save the country at almost the last possible minute.

Of course not... But they are in violation of law and the DOJ needs to go after them without mercy to make examples.

Will they actually go after them?

That is the question.

I would monitor those sites, track individuals and mark them.

Been done before, as many know.

If they are loyal to the U.S. they will...

If not they are the same old deep state of a different color.

      You Democrats

      You Democrats are sons of a bitch.
      You’ve driven this country into a ditch.
      You can’t tell a penis from a vagina.
      Why don’t y’all migrate to China?

The Demos set the precedent for people being imprisoned for years while being “investigated”. These 8647 folks probably warrant an investigation.
